Hello, The command "gpg --decrypt" takes a file or STDIN as input and decrypts, tries to, the part between -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- ... -----END PGP MESSAGE----- and also throws away every thing else.
I would like to have an option reproducing the uncrypted part of STDIN to STDOUT, instead of throwing it away. An example of need is to transform a bunch of encrypted emails to their deciphered version, the Unix philosophy way, ie, suitable in a pipe, or more. Something like: P=mysecretpass cat mailbox.txt | gpg --decrypt --batch --no-tty --passphrase=$P --allow-multiple-messages 2>/dev/null | more Three questions: 1) Is it a complicated task, considering the gpg code architecture? 2) Can someone who see the whole gpg picture give me some clue and a starting point? 3) What is the eagerness to include such an option in gpg? Is it a clear NO or a YES or Why not if done well? 4) How about the option name? --cat # act like cat --parrot # be a parrot --copy-stdin-to-stdout # long and less cryptic --??? Thanks! -- Au revoir, Gilles Lamiral.
