Signing messages with emacs 27.1

Signing messages with emacs 27.1

[Alan Schmitt]

Hello,

I just updated to emacs 27.1, and I'm wondering if this is why I no
longer can sign messages. I get the error "Couldn’t find any signer
names."

I tried debugging it, and it seems that the problem is that
`mml-secure-epg-encrypt' cannot find the name of the sender
((message-options-get 'message-sender) returns nil).

Is it a problem with notmuch, or should I looks elsewhere?

Thanks,

Alan\r

I _think_ it's a change in message-mode. Does it work for you if you set
mml-secure-openpgp-sign-with-sender?

(or smime, if using smime)

I had changed smime, as it was suggested by the error message, so I now
just set openpgp (as it's what I'm using). And I can report that it
works. I don't know why I need this additional variable, but it's great
news.

Thanks a lot for the help!

Best,

Alan
