NAME

Mail::GnuPG - Process email with GPG.

SYNOPSIS

use Mail::GnuPG;
my $mg = new Mail::GnuPG( key => 'ABCDEFGH' );
$ret = $mg->mime_sign( $MIMEObj, 'you@my.dom' );

DESCRIPTION

Use GnuPG::Interface to process or create PGP signed or encrypted email.

new

 Create a new Mail::GnuPG instance.

Arguments:
  Paramhash...

  key    => gpg key id
  keydir => gpg configuration/key directory
  passphrase => primary key password

  # FIXME: we need more things here, maybe primary key id.

decrypt

Decrypt an encrypted message

Input:
  MIME::Entity containing email message to decrypt.

 The message can either be in RFC compliant-ish multipart/encrypted
 format, or just a single part ascii armored message.

Output:
 On Failure:
   Exit code of gpg.  (0 on success)

 On Success: (just encrypted)
   (0, undef, undef)

 On success: (signed and encrypted)
   ( 0,
     keyid,           # ABCDDCBA
     emailaddress     # Foo Bar <foo@bar.com>
   )

  where the keyid is the key that signed it, and emailaddress is full
  name and email address of the primary uid


 $self->{last_message} => any errors from gpg
 $self->{plaintext}    => plaintext output from gpg
 $self->{decrypted}    => parsed output as MIME::Entity

get_decrypt_key

determines the decryption key (and corresponding mail) of a message

Input:
  MIME::Entity containing email message to analyze.

 The message can either be in RFC compliant-ish multipart/signed
 format, or just a single part ascii armored message.

Output:
 $key    -- decryption key
 $mail   -- corresponding mail address

verify

verify a signed message

Input:
  MIME::Entity containing email message to verify.

 The message can either be in RFC compliant-ish multipart/signed
 format, or just a single part ascii armored message.

Output:
 On error:
   Exit code of gpg.  (0 on success)
 On success
   ( 0,
     keyid,           # ABCDDCBA
     emailaddress     # Foo Bar <foo@bar.com>
   )

  where the keyid is the key that signed it, and emailaddress is full
  name and email address of the primary uid

 $self->{last_message} => any errors from gpg

has_public_key

Does the keyring have a public key for the specified email address?

FIXME: document better.  talk about caching.  maybe put a better
interface in.

clear_sign

is_signed

 best guess as to whether a message is signed or not (by looking at
 the mime type and message content)

Input:
  MIME::Entity containing email message to test

Output:
 True or False value
