#3975 — pgp anyone?

Hello gunter.sandner # googlemail.com!

Another matter I have been revisiting: how to encrypt a  
message, but my attempts have been failing.

I have defined several functions in the Tools menu:


ÚÄ Tools Menu

1 and 2 do not seem to work.
But 3 and 4 do.


What am I doing wrong?

Do 1 and 2 need the gpg -o parameter?  And if so, what should  
those lines look like?

I simply don't know. I haven't used PGP for years and it's currently way  
out of my focus, sorry...

PGP in XP is not working since pgp 2.6.x is out of use.

GPG should work, but no one tested this.

Hello martin # martinwodrich.de!

 MW> PGP in XP is not working since pgp 2.6.x is out of use.

So.. the code makes calls using "pgp" hardcoded?

Why not simply replace "pgp" with "gpg" in the source?


 MW> GPG should work, but no one tested this.

These work:

And I'm using:

H:\>gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.19
libgcrypt 1.8.5

I'm just not sure how to use the $ASK and $FILE variables in  
the Tools menu to make my own "gpg -sea -r " command tool.

No, just set up GnuPG and use it.
PGP-Version 2.6.x is the old PGP.
PGP-Version GnuPG means gpg.
PGP-Version 5.x and 6.5.x no one knows.

Can you tell us what your goal is?

Do you want to reply to encrypted emails and also create encrypted 
emails yourself using GPG?

OXP can encrypt and decrypt emails automatically with the correct 
settings. So you don't need any additional tools like the ones you 
presented here.

YES!

Basically, I notice that OpenXP decrypts a message fine. And,  
once it is decrypted, it stays decrypted. So.. there is no need  
to specifically "reply to encrypted" messages since they will  
be decrypted by then.

That sounds wonderful.  What needs to be done?

To avoid any misunderstandings: OXP only supports "gpg/inline"!

OXP does not support "gpg/mime", which is used and generated by modern 
email clients!

Your settings are almost identical to mine.

Also check your settings for the relevant email addresses: 
[TAB] => Spezial => PW

That is no problem.  Inline is quite fine.  That is how I was  
doing it manually - creating the pgp block and reediting the  
outgoing message by dropping in the new block.

I am not sure what that password that needs to be. Is it

OK.. I tried it without a PW and the message went out in the  
clear.

When I entered a PW in the Above settings, and tried again, I  
got this:

So.. WHAT needs to be placed in the "Password _______" line?

Is that optional?

When I leave it blank, and set the other parameter to "PGP" and  
"[x] Crypt" is set, like this..


┌─ arnold @ kolico.ca ─────────────────────
│
│  Password
│
│  Crypt method         PGP      ↓
│
│   [x]   Default: Crypt
│
└──────────────────────────────────────────

 ..a "P" shows up next to the person's email address:

√ P       ~  1 sveiks    a#####@#####.ca


Then, just before I save it, I see this:

┌─ Private message ────────────────────────────────────────
│
│  To:        a#####@#####.ca
│
│  Subject    TEST, FRI 6:50p
│
│  Server     sveiks                      Code:    PGP
│
│  Size       71 Bytes                    Copies:  none
│
│  Send...                          Change...
│  ►Yes◄  No   Internal   Special   Subj.   Server   Code
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────


Then, after I save it, the Sending queue looks like this:

■ +!c     71 09.01.26 arnold@kolico.ca  sveiks TEST, FRI 6:50p


So.. I would assume that the "c" at the far left means that the  
message is supposed to be encrypted?   But.. I get no gpg  
prompts to do that, and the message sits in-the-clear - not  
encrypted.

So.. maybe the Linux version does things right, but clearly  
it's not working in the Windows version.

That's how it should be!

YES! Exactly! :-)

Hello Th.Barghahn # gmx.de!

 >> So.. I would assume that the "c" at the far left means that
 >> the message is supposed to be encrypted?

 TB> YES! Exactly! :-)

SO.. after some monitoring of the new files that openxp  
creates, I noticed some *new* #####.$$$ files in the TEMP  
directory. Indeed, I noticed that one of the recent ones had  
the PGP BLOCK type.

That seemed promising.  Decrypting it manually proved to be the  
right message.

I did not realize that any ####.$$$ file was being created, and  
therefore I assumed that the original unencrypted message that  
I saw in my UNSENT list was not encrypted!

It turns out that the encrypted message *DID* get sent.

So.. the important thing is to select "[x] Crypt" for the  
specific email recipient, and that "PGP" is selected too.

And, as you nicely illustrated in your Step_N images, signing  
of that message works as expected too.   However, I wonder  
where the signed block is stored?  Which TEMP is it?

In the case of PGP/inline, the signature is not stored in a separate
TEMP file.  The entire signed content is the block between:

-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
[...]
-----END PGP MESSAGE-----

That block already contains the signed data and the OpenPGP signature
packet.  So there is no additional file — everything is embedded
directly in the message body.

See:
RFC 4880 – OpenPGP Message Format and
RFC 9580 – OpenPGP (2024)

Thank you for the nice discussion and have fun with encryption and
signing in OpenXP! :-)

Ah..  I should have noticed the "valid signature" when I tested  
the ####.$$$ temp file.

Thx.

Yes.. that went wel.. Thx for your interest to work through the  
matter.  :)

I have recently received mime-type email from someone.   OpenXP  
can't seem to handle that on its own. Basically, the messages  
seem to arrive in base64.

Eg.

Content-Disposition: inline

This is an OpenPGP/MIME encrypted message (RFC 4880 and 3156)

--2wErROdFz89KWACh58u=_36ptLjUNwMbIq
Content-Type: application/pgp-encrypted
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment
Content-Description: PGP/MIME version identification

VmVyc2lvbjogMQ0KDQo=

--2wErROdFz89KWACh58u=_36ptLjUNwMbIq
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
        name="encrypted.asc"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: inline;
        filename="encrypted.asc"
Content-Description: OpenPGP encrypted message

LS0tLS1CRUdJTiBQR1AgTUVTU0FHRS0tLS0tDQoNCmhRRU1BMWc3S2ExcDBKbW
VFZyb2dlbUJlaXNBMlNqdjA1dDlKRlI3QldtUSthUmNKK0M2QmcNClNzVzczVT
[...]

OPX can show me the PGP BLOCK of the encrypted.asc file, which  
it saves to a temporary external file in the FILES dir, then I  
can drop to the cmdline and execute "gpg -d [FILE]"  ..and I  
can view the message onscreen.

Do you have ready-made macros or a Tools script-line that you  
can tell me about that will handle mime-type?

In this case, you need "Kleopatra" *and* a "base64 decoder"
OR:
own gpg tools *and* a "base64 decoder".

See my procedure:
-----------------

Step 1:
select the email to be decrypted
<https://barghahn-online.de/Pictures/oxp/Step_1_decrypt.png>

Step 2:
select "File ... encrypted.asc"
<https://barghahn-online.de/Pictures/oxp/Step_2_decrypt.png>

Step 3:
copy/save the entire part:
-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
[...]
-----END PGP MESSAGE-----
to the clipboard (Linux) => Result File: ~/.openxp/temp/.openxp.clipboard.1000
in File: "out.asc"
<https://barghahn-online.de/Pictures/oxp/Step_3_decrypt.png>

STEP 4.1:

+++ with "Kleopatra" - START +++
|
|   Step 4.1.1:
|   Tools => Clipboard => encrypt/decrypt
|   <https://barghahn-online.de/Pictures/oxp/Step_4_1_1_decrypt.png>
|
|   Step 4.1.2:
|   Enter passphrase
|   <https://barghahn-online.de/Pictures/oxp/Step_4_1_2_decrypt.png>
|
|   Step 4.1.3:
|   check Sig and close "Kleopatra"
|   <https://barghahn-online.de/Pictures/oxp/Step_4_1_3_decrypt.png>
|   
+++ with "Kleopatra" - END +++

STEP 4.2:

+++ w/o "Kleopatra" - START +++
|
|   || !! Create Tools-Menu !!
|   || Menu display: decr. gpg/mime
|   || <https://barghahn-online.de/Pictures/oxp/Step_4_2_decrypt.png>
|   ||
|   || Linux:
|   || ------
|   || Program name: gpg -d -o ~/.openxp/temp/input.txt ~/.openxp/temp/.openxp.clipboard.1000
|   ||
|   || Windows11:
|   || ----------
|   || Program name: gpg -d -o d:\my_programs\open_xp\files\input.txt d:\my_programs\open_xp\files\out.txt

|   <https://barghahn-online.de/Pictures/oxp/Step_4_2_2_decrypt.png>
|
+++ w/o "Kleopatra" - END +++

Step 5:
open the file "input.txt" in your preferred editor and copy the
"base64 part" to the clipboard.
<https://barghahn-online.de/Pictures/oxp/Step_5_decrypt.png>

Step 6:
open your "base64 decoder"[1] and paste from the clipboard.
<https://barghahn-online.de/Pictures/oxp/Step_6_decrypt.png>

Step 7:
decode the base64 part

My dilema..  How do I know what file OXP uses as the temp file  
after saving a message or seletion to Clipboard?

For example, I saved this message to Clipboard and noticed a  
new temp file that contains the content:

     3382 2026-01-11 19:24:04.406250000 TEMP/1892.$$$

But.. if that file name is always different, how can I build  
the proper Program line to use it as imput?

Is the selection to clipboard represented by the $FILE  
variable?

I could prabably build the decrypt base64 tool with:

Ok.

Oh, that version is quite a bit outdated already. ;-)
Please install the 'Gpg4Win 4.4.1' package on your Windows XP system. It
includes the current version of 'gpg'. The package also contains the
latest version of "Kleopatra", which you can use to manage all your
keys. You can download Gpg4Win from the following page:
<https://www.gpg4win.de/>

My versions:

| C:\gpg --version
| gpg (GnuPG) 2.4.8
| libgcrypt 1.11.1
| Kleopatra 3.3.0

Import all your relevant keys into Kleopatra — that includes your own
key pair as well as all public keys you need for encryption and
verification.

> OpenXP      5.0.64 (Win32)
Ok.

This input field has no meaning for current gpg versions and should be
left empty.

First, please install GPG4Win with Kleopatra and import all your
keys. Then try sending an email with OpenXP.
