I need help getting PGP to work with Yarn. It works fine in DOS. I've
been through both sets of docs, and I'm using the default settings and
batch files supplied with Yarn, but whenever I try to Sign and Send a
message, I get:

stat errno 1 file c:\yarn\yarn\cipher

And when I tried to get it to Encrypt and Send email, the screen just
went black for a second, then it came back and acted like I'd just done
a normal Save. I'm lost. What am I missing, here?

What's it looking for? Is there a file in PGP that needs to be placed
in my yarn\yarn directory, or is there some way I can point the batch
and or config files in the right direction (C:\PGP)?

HELP! Please?

Get a copy of AutoPGP. It works great with yarn and it automates most PGP
functions. Here's the overview from Stale's documentation.


OVERVIEW
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

Offline AutoPGP (AutoPGP or APGP for short) is a program that integrates PGP
encryption into your offline mail reader. It enables you to write encrypted
messages and read decrypted messages from within your favourite mail reader,
using the highly secure and widely acclaimed Pretty Good Privacy software
package originally written by Philip Zimmermann - the new standard in public
key encryption. AutoPGP combines the ease and comfort of reading and writing
e-mail in an offliner with the security of public key encryption. You don't
need any previous experience with PGP or any other encryption software, as
AutoPGP will handle all interfacing with PGP automatically. If you are
already familiar with the concepts of offline mail reading, you will soon
feel comfortable with AutoPGP, even if you have never used PGP before.

Features of AutoPGP v2.2á2 include:

þ Support for all the most popular mail readers. You may use AutoPGP with
any mail reader that conforms to the QWK or SOUP specifications. Readers
that use PCBoard and MBBS capture files (e.g. XBoard and Offliner) are
also supported. In addition, you may use AutoPGP on ordinary ASCII-files.

þ Easy installation. An intuitive, easy-to-use installation program will
configure AutoPGP correctly for the first-time user. The installation
program will automatically detect many popular offline readers, and
configure AutoPGP for use with these readers. It will also find the
correct paths to PkZip, Arj, Lha and PGP, set DOS environment variables
and update your AUTOEXEC.BAT file if necessary.

þ Support for the latest PGP versions. AutoPGP has been successfully tested
with PGP 2.3a, 2.6ui, 2.6n, 2.6, 2.6.1, 2.6.i, 2.6.2 and 2.7, and will
probably work well with all PGP 2.x versions except 2.5 (the MIT beta
release). AutoPGP lets you read messages created with any 2.x version of
PGP, even if you are using PGP 2.3a. AutoPGP can also create messages
that can be read by PGP 2.3a, even if you are using PGP 2.6 or 2.6.1.

þ Automatic, seamless operation. When correctly set up, AutoPGP will
automatically decrypt, encrypt and sign messages, verify signatures and
add new public keys to your public key ring, all with a minimum of
interaction from the user.

þ Advanced functions not found in any other PGP front-end utility. AutoPGP
lets you:

o encrypt a message to multiple recipients
o encrypt and/or sign only part(s) of a message
o insert your own or other users' public keys anywhere in a message
o include PGP ASCII armoured files in a message
o decrypt incoming messages, also those marked "For your eyes only"
o verify signatures on incoming messages
o add new public keys found in incoming messages to your keyring
o extract PGP ASCII armoured files from incoming messages
o choose PGP keys to use from an alphabetic pick list
o and much more!

Is there an Internet site that has a copy of AutoPGP?

Here's another source for AutoPGP. I got my copy of 22b2 from this
site, and it works fine. He's got some other pretty useful stuff
listed, so I'm forwarding the whole message.
