Some important information |
| 7 |
-------------------------- |
| 8 |
Please consider this work as a beta version. Don't except that everything |
| 9 |
works and be prepared for some crashes! So please use it with some caution. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Even so I tested the plugin several times and what I can say is, that it |
| 12 |
seems to work with W2K/WXP and Outlook Express (6.X). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Installation |
| 16 |
------------ |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
To use the plugin a working GnuPG installation is *required*. If you |
| 19 |
don't have GPG installed, please visit gnupg.org and read some manuals |
| 20 |
about it. The easiest way is to use gpg4win/gnupt to install GPG and WinPT. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Now you should copy the GPGOE.dll and the GPGOEInit.exe to a directory. |
| 23 |
It's important that both files are in the same directory. Now start the |
| 24 |
GPGOEInit program. You'll see a small new icon in the tasbkar. If there |
| 25 |
was no error message, the OE plugin is now setup properly. To quit the |
| 26 |
program and to unload the GPGOE plug-in you've to double click on the |
| 27 |
icon with the left mouse button. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
|

Native language support |
| 31 |
----------------------- |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Currently native language support is not available! |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
In the case you want to translate GPGOE into your language, please contact |
| 36 |
me. The text for translation is very limited so it should be easy to |
| 37 |
translate. |
| 38 |
|

How to use the plug-in |
| 41 |
---------------------- |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
For now the plugin supports encryption, signing and decryption or to verify |
| 44 |
signatures. There is *no* new icon in the OE mailer window. To encrypt a |
| 45 |
message you've to add the S/MIME encrypt/sign buttons to the OE toolbar. |
| 46 |
This is *required*. Now you can press one of the buttons to sign or encrypt. |
| 47 |
If you click both buttons the message is signed *and* encrypted. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
There are several ways to choose the recipients: |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
1. Use the OE addressbook and make sure that the email address of the |
| 52 |
recipients is equal to the user ID's from the GPG key. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
2. Enter the recipients manually. Then a keylist dialog is shown and |
| 55 |
you can choose the recipients which should use for encryption. It's |
| 56 |
also allowed to select more then one! |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Now we're at the point you get an signed or encrypted message. Open the |
| 59 |
message and soon after you openend it, a passphrase callback is shown |
| 60 |
and you need to enter the passphrase. After the operation was successfull |
| 61 |
the plaintext is shown in a separate text viewer. Or in the case it was |
| 62 |
a signature, the signature status is shown. |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
If you've trouble to install or use the plugin, feel free to mail me. |
| 66 |
But I recommend to subscribe to winpt-users and to post your question |
| 67 |
there because then you will also help all the other users. To subscribe |
| 68 |
to the mailing list, please visit wald.intevation.org and select the |
| 69 |
WinPT project. |

Hint |
| 73 |
---- |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
The plug-in does *NOT* use any S/MIME procedures. It only uses the OE |
| 76 |
buttons, which had the S/MIME description, to encrypt/sign text. |
| 77 |

Happy encrypting, |
