- --clearsign is a function of GnuPG, if that's what you are asking. You
can generate clear-text signatures with it (like this mail).

are there any useful macros for this? it seems like it is all
encryption that needs to be decrypted, but yet it isn't. I would like
to see the message you sent in mutt...grrr...i'm behind webmail here
and they are seen as attachments....

I have found these two, thus far...

macro compose \CP "Fgpg --clearsign\ny"
macro compose \CS "Fgpg --clearsing\ny^T^Uapplication/pgp;
format=test; x

I am learning very much by having a pgp enabled client, such as mutt,
but I am still learning. I sat down after I installed gnupg and went
through the entire manual, and that helped explain so much. I found it
much better documented then standard pgp unix released documents. I
could be wrong, but this is what I have found.
