Emacs/tools/Encryption-Decryption/many options in the menu-bar on top
I tried also through Thunderbird.Thunderbird doesn't have access to GnuPGs keys, so how would it be able to export them?
That´s right.I have got older keys in Thunderbird, which I wanted to export. Not GnuPG keys, but keys I created in Thunderbird.
It seems, somebody who knows the terminal and how to use it, can do almost everything. Somebody, who doesn´t know that, is lost.Some things are easier on the command line, some things are easier in graphical user interfaces, in my experience. Describing exactly what you need to do or what happened in a graphical user interface is often hard - as this thread has illustrated.So we agree that when you wrote: "As I wrote, Thunderbird on their help options say clearly that Thunderbird does not accept GnuPG, only if it is a smartcard..." that was incorrect?I don´t know what to say about that, because Thunderbird says that on its website.You just imported keys exported from GnuPG into Thunderbird, contrary to what you thought the documentation said. You literally proved yourself wrong.
that´s right. It is good that you disproved Thunderbird and my statement about Thunderbird. In this way the same key can be used in Gnus and Thunderbird.
It is not easy to learn if you are not willing to accept when you are wrong and change your opinion accordingly.But in Gnus I didn´t succeed to decrypt this email.Can you save the email in a file and decrypt that file with gpg?I tried with ~$ gpg -d ~/testkey.gpg but it failed after entering my passphrase.What did you put in ~/testkey.gpg?
I encrypted a mail in Gnus and saved it into a file. and tried to decrypt it.
that's done in the gpg configuration with the 'default-recipient' and 'hidden-encrypt-to' options. Have you configured those?this is missing, I have not configured that, because I don´t know how.Time to read some more documentation, then! Much easier now you know what options to read about.
I found in "man gpg" those two options: "default-recipient" and "hidden-encrypt-to" but after many attempts I gave up. I don't know how to use them in the terminal. my knowledge about the terminal is too little.
what do I have to add into my gnus.el file?Nothing, as I wrote above, this is something you configure gpg to do. Best regards, Adam
