3 WHAT IS MailPGP?

MailPGP is a simple user interface for Philip Zimmermann's Pretty Good Privacy
(PGP). I made this program only because I couldn't find a decent PGP shell to
use with my e-mail program. 
MailPGP is easy to use and still has many advanced features. If you only want
to keep your mail secure, just ignore all the settings and you'll do fine. For
more information on the available options, see part 4 (Instructions).
With MailPGP you can write the mail with your favorite program, cut the text
to the clipboard (Ctrl-X), select the recipient and hit encrypt. Then you can
simply paste the encrypted text to your e-mail and send it. No messing with
too many options or multiple editors. Hope you like it.


+--------------------------------------------------
4 INSTRUCTIONS


4.1 Configuring PGP and MailPGP
+------------------------------

    MailPGP requires PGP 2.6.x or newer properly installed to your system. 
    You can obtain Pretty Good Privacy e.g. from The International PGP Home 
    Page: http://www.ifi.uio.no/pgp/

    PART 1. Configuring PGP environment, complete instructions are included
            with PGP:

      add the following lines to your autoexec.bat:
      SET PGPPATH=C:\PGP
      SET PATH=C:\PGP;%PATH%
      (replace C:\PGP with the directory where you copied the PGP files)

      You also have to add time zone information to autoexec.bat; see more
      precise instructions from setup.doc that came with PGP.

      For example, Finland:      SET TZ=EET-2DST
                   Los Angeles:  SET TZ=PST8PDT
                   Denver:       SET TZ=MST7MDT
                   Arizona:      SET TZ=MST7
                   Chicago:      SET TZ=CST6CDT
                   New York:     SET TZ=EST5EDT
                   London:       SET TZ=GMT0BST
                   Amsterdam:    SET TZ=MET-1DST
                   Moscow:       SET TZ=MSK-3MSD
                   Aukland:      SET TZ=NZT-12DST


    PART 2. Using MailPGP

    All the installation needed is to copy MailPGP.exe to a directory of your
    choice.

    First you'll need to create yourself a PGP key (if you don't already have 
    one). Start MailPGP, click the right mouse button, select 
    "Key management|Create a new PGP key" from the pop-up menu and follow the
    instructions.

    If you want MailPGP to automatically use a specific secret key for signing
    messages (and for extracting a public key), type in or select the desired 
	user ID and select "Set as default user ID" from the pop-up menu.
    For more information, see part 4.2. (The Available functions).

    After that, you'll need to add your friends' public keys to your key ring.
    You can easily do that with MailPGP by copying the key to clipboard and 
    clicking e.g. Encrypt. When MailPGP finds a PGP key from the clipboard, it
    adds the key to your key ring (after asking you and assuming that "Ignore
    keys" isn't selected). You can try this by adding my public key (included)
    to your key ring . Open SAMIT.ASC e.g. with Notepad and copy its contents
    to clipboard. Then start MailPGP, click Encrypt and follow the
    instructions.

    To extract your public key from the key ring for sending it to your 
    friends, select "Extract a public key" from the pop-up menu. If you didn't
    define a default user ID, you'll need to type in your user ID to the text
    field. There you go, your public key is waiting for you in the clipboard.
    You can extract any public key in your key ring just by typing in the
	desired user ID.

    To encrypt a file, click FE (File Encrypt). A dialog will appear that
	allows you to choose a file. After you've chosen a file and clicked OK,
	the file will be encrypted. Notice that the original file isn't deleted.
	If you have selected to use conventional encryption for files (from the
	Settings dialog), you don't need to type in a user ID. To decrypt a file,
	click the FD (File Decrypt) button.

	Please notice that MailPGP wipes all the created files that contain
	sensitive information before deleting them.
	
    If you want to verify that MAILPGP.EXE hasn't been modified by anyone
    except me, type "pgp mailpgp.sig mailpgp.exe" while in DOS
    prompt. You should get a response from PGP similar to following:

       File has signature.  Public key is required to check signature.

       File 'mailpgp.sig' has signature, but with no text.
       Text is assumed to be in file 'mailpgp.exe'.
       .
       Good signature from user "Sami Tolvanen <samit@sip.fi>".
       
    If you get a bad signature, it means that the file has been modified. Check
    the file with a virus scanner for a possible virus infection and download
    MAILPGP11.ZIP from the MailPGP Home Page to make sure that you get the
    original file (see part 6). If you continue to have problems with checking
    the signature, e-mail me.

    -------------------
    OPTIONS DIALOG:
     Encryption:
      *Pause after encrypt:

        As default this option is not selected.

      *ASCII armor encrypted files (-a):
        Uses ASCII (-a) switch when encrypting files. If you use this option
        you can e.g. easily send an encrypted text or binary file via e-mail.

        If you select this option, all the files you encrypt using the ASCII
        option will be copied to clipboard.
        As default this option is selected.

        As default this option is selected and length is set to 65 characters.

      *Ignore signatures:
        If you select this, MailPGP won't automatically check the signatures

      *Read user IDs:
        Reads your public key ring at startup and secret key ring when it's
        needed (when Sign Only is selected). MailPGP saves the key rings'
        contents to pubring.txt and secring.txt so that next time you start
        MailPGP, it doesn't have to run PGP. If you want to update the
        Userid(s) menu, select Key management|Re-read user IDs from the
        pop-up menu.

        Saves your pass phrase in memory so that you have to type it only
        once. Pass phrase will stay in memory until you quit MailPGP. Notice
        that your pass phrase won't be saved to disk.
        As default this option is selected.

      *Save settings on exit:
        Saves the current settings when exiting MailPGP.

    USER INTERFACE OBJECTS:
      EN (Encrypt):
        Encrypt a message from the clipboard.

      ES (Encrypt and Sign):
        Sign message that's going to be encrypted. MailPGP will use the

        that's most recently added to your secret key ring.

      DE (Decrypt):
        Decrypt a message from the clipboard.

      SIG (Only Sign or check signature):
        Sign message. You can type the sender to the user ID field, if you
        don't, MailPGP uses the default user ID. If default user ID isn't
        defined, PGP will use the key that's most recently added to your
        secret key ring.
        If a signed message is found on clipboard and Ignore signatures isn't
        selected, checks the signature.

      O (MailPGP Options):
        Shows the program options.

      User ID field:
        Type in or select the user ID for encryption or extracting a public
        key, or  the sender for signing. If you leave this field blank when 
        signing or extracting a public key, MailPGP will use the default used
        ID if it's been defined.
