If it must be the keys generated by a third-party program, and these are considered as "the user's keys", then why not make them known to GnuPG (probably it would have been much easier to let GnuPG generate the keys itself in the first place)? Anyway, once that works, the setup in Emacs is more straightforward. Michael.
I set up a key in GnuPG. after reading the manual several times I found out that I have to add # to use the PGP Agent in Emacs GPG_TTY=$(tty) export GPG_TTY to my .bashrc file in my home directory in order to use pgp-agent. After doing that when I encrypt a mail in gnus and send it, it works, when I want to decrypt it it opens a terminal window (in bash) (not emacs shell) to enter my passphrase. In doing so, it is the right passphrase, I press: ok it always says: wrong password: bash: command not found So I am a step further but still I can´t decrypt my own encrypted mails. In creating in GnuPG a new key it is recognised in Emacs, but not in Thunderbird/Icedove and vice verca, it means both don´t recognise the other. Thunderbird/Icedove does not recognise the key, I created in GnuPG. Still now I don´t know why. Gottfried
