Hi

I am unable to sign messages, in the compose window there is only an
'encrypt now' button and an 'encrypt on send' checkbox, I have generated a
keypair and selected my trusted and signing key. If I choose the sign by
default option in the options page the emails sent are not signed. I can
encrypt mails, send them and then decrypt them but they are unsigned
aswell. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I also had to remove the javascript for checking the form details when
creating a new key-pair otherwise it complained about an invalid email
address. I have also tried generating my key-pair with gpg on the command
line, exporting the keys into text files and importing them into my
squirrelmail keyring.

I do have multiple identities so wondered if it were that but I deleted
them all except the main one but that made no difference.

I've tried setting the compose window to open in a new window and open
inside the frames but this makes no difference

I already posted this to the squirrelmail's plugin mailing list and haven't got any answers so thought I'd try here

cheers

Can any one even point me to a site or newsgroup which may be able to help me out. I've searched google but heaven't come up with anything that looks useful

I just had this exact problem, and after some clicking around I finally realized what the problem is.

You need to tell Squirrelmail which private key to use for signing (you can only have one defined, which makes sense since a key can have multiple email addresses associated with it).

To define your "signing" key, in Squirrelmail go to Options->GPG Plugin Options->Keyring Management Functions. Then choose to "Show keys in Secret Keyring", select the key you want to use for message signing, and check "This is my SIGNING key". Save the changes, and - voila - you can sign messages.

Hope this helps.

yeah I already tried this, thanks for replying anyway. I've given up on it for the time being, will have another crack at when the next version of squirrelmail/the gpg plugin is released
