# claws-mail-pgpinline(7)

handle PGP/Inline signed and/or encrypted mails

## NAME

claws-mail-pgpinline - handle PGP/Inline signed and/or encrypted mails

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **claws-mail-pgpinline** package.

This manual page was written for the Debian™ distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**claws-mail-pgpinline** is a plugin (loadable module) for the *Claws* *Mail* mailer.

This plugin allows decrypting mails, verifying signatures and sign or encrypt your own mails using PGP/Inline.

It requires GnuPG and GPGME.

### Warning

Notice this method for signing or encryption is deprecated and you probably should be using PGP/MIME, but it is still provided for compatibility with user agents which are unable to handle the 10-year old PGP/MIME standard (being Outlook from Windows platform the most noticeable example).

## USAGE

Before using a plugin you must instruct *Claws Mail* to load it on startup.

For this you must go “Configuration” menu on main window toolbar, open “Plugins...”  dialog, click on the “Load plugin...”  button and select the plugin file, named **pgpinline.so**, and press the “Open” button.

## FILES

- *~/.gnupg/gpg.conf*

  Configuration file for GnuPG, read gpg and gpgconf manual pages for details.
