reading GnuPG / OpenPGP encrypted emails on the N9 / N950
 

Since there is no native support and I could not find any other way to read my PGP encrypted emails on my N950 I like to share the work-around solution I find useful for me:

• install less by apt-get install less (not sure if it is already pre-installed?)
• put your OpenPGP keys into /home/user/.gnupg
• put the following script to /home/user/decrypt:
  
  Code:

  ---

  MAXAGE=1

# search for files with GnuPG pattern
files=`find /home/user/.qmf/mail/ -mtime -$MAXAGE | xargs grep -l GnuPG`
nr_files=`echo $files | wc -w`

# search successful?
if [ $nr_files -gt 0 ]
then
    # we found OpenPGP encryted files
    echo "$nr_files encrypted emails found."

    # loop through all of them
    for mail in $files
    do
        # handle current file
        #echo "Found "$mail

        # check if encryption is inline PGP or PGP/MIME attachment
        if [ `echo $mail | grep parts` ]
        then
            # found PGP/MIME
            # determine main email file by removing -part/2 suffix
            mainfile=`echo $mail | cut -d'-' -f 1`
            grep -i -e from: -e subject: $mainfile
        else
            # found inline PGP email
            grep -i -e from: -e subject: $mail
        fi

        # ask user whether we decrypt this file
        read -p "Take this email (Y|n)?" -n1 choice

        if [ $choice != "n" ]
        then
            gpg -d $mail | less
            exit
        fi
    done
else
    echo "No GnuPG encrypted emails found during last $MAXAGE days." | less
fi

• create a desktop icon by putting the following content into /usr/share/applications/decrypt.desktop:
  
  Code:

  ---

  [Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Name=Decrypt
Exec=/usr/bin/meego-terminal -n -e sh /home/user/decrypt
Icon=icon-l-terminal

  ---

The script searches for all encrypted email you received during the last day. If you want to increase the period, just change MAXAGE in /home/user/decrypt.

I hope this is useful for somebody else...

does this also work for the n9?
i didn't find a usable gpg-mail-decrypt-app for the n9 either.

Yes, it should also work for the N9.

Thanks for this. I was looking for a solution.

Can I GPG-sign mails before i send them?
