Attach public key and encrypt by default

Attach public key and encrypt by default

[Carolyn "Lynn" Knight-Serrano]

I have two feature requests/questions for notmuch-emacs? One would it be possible to add or configure in support for automatically adding your gpg public key to messages? Second, could there be a feature that checks if there's a gpg key for the recipient of a message and if there is, turn on encryption by default? Thanks!

Oh! I figured out how to encrypt by default. I still can't figure out how to attach my public key by default though.

Two ideas:

echo “-- “ > ~/.signature
gpg -a -e $USER >> !$

This is hardly polite, but at least the signature will be stripped off by many archives and replies. 

Alternatively, 

(add-hook ‘message-setup-hook (lambda () (mml-attach-file “path/to/pubkey.gpg”))

But this still puts kilobytes of useless crud on every message. Please don’t. Maybe a URL to your key in your signature would be enough?

As already mentioned, adding several KB of GPG key to the body of each
of your messages would be very impolite, and it might get you flagged as
a spammer.

A possible alternative is Autocrypt (https://autocrypt.org/) which uses
the message header, but the most bandwidth-friendly method is still a
URL pointing to your self-hosted key material. Also there are publicly
available key servers like http://pgp.mit.edu , with their own pros and
cons.

Hi, Carolyn.  Both of these features is basically exactly what autocrypt
aims to provide:

https://autocrypt.org/

I know that Daniel Gillmor (dkg) and others have been actively working
on building autocrypt support into notmuch and notmuch-emacs.  I too
really want autocrypt support in notmuch, and am wishing I had more time
to help integrate it.  Maybe we can convince dkg to report on where he
sees things right now and we can outline a development work plan to help
push development forward.

jamie.

I use a minor mode which automatically adds an encryption tag to 
the message if a key is known to exist. It does not look up the 
key, it only checks the private store (those keys which are 
already known by the gpg agent). Maybe you could adapt this to 
your needs.
