Your mail has been forwarded to me. > From: "Luedde, Mirko" > * the `--verify' option can be combined with `--output', but the > latter has no effect.=20 --verify does not output the message itself. If you need that, you should call gpg without --verifty. The default is to verify or decrypt the message. > * the `--decrypt' option can be applied to signed but unencrypted > files and strips the signature from the file. however, if the file > is corrupted, gpg will not notice that the signature does not match > the content. Just did a test and I either can't replicate that or I did not understand the problem: $ gpg --decrypt " I created the message using gpg --clearsign x.asc and modified it. Same when using binary signatures. Salam-Shalom, Werner
