[Pan-users] git-pan heads-up! Sigs

[Duncan]

For those following pan via git build, at least the gnome testing branch 
(formerly hmueller's repo)...

I'm not sure if it was the upgrade to a new gmime, or something in the 
latest week or so of git commits, but...

I just had pan lose track of my signatures.  When I tried to post without 
a sig the message sure looked odd!

I was able to go back into the posting profiles and reset them, and as 
you can see, I have my sig back, but I /did/ have to go into posting 
profiles and reset them (they switched back to blank, there).  
Fortunately, I use text files, so all I had to do was set it back to text 
file and point it at the right file, again.

So yeah, heads-up.  As I said, it may be because I just upgraded gmime, 
but in case anyone else runs into it, just go to posting profiles and 
reset them.

Meanwhile, it may well have /been/ pan changes, because there's been 
quite a bit of change, recently.  pan now handles gpg signing/encryption/
verification, at least if built against the appropriate libs.  I have gpg 
but don't use gnome and thus don't have gnome-keyring installed, so don't 
expect I see the full featureset.  But I do see the brand new gpg-signed 
icon for messages that have a signature.  I'm not sure I can verify it 
since I'm not building against gnome-keyring, but I do see the icon. 
=:^)  Also, I /think/ pan stores server account passwords encrypted now 
too, but I don't have a server with a password set to verify, and even if 
I did, I think pan uses gnome-keyring for that as well, so it'd probably 
still be stored plain-text in servers.xml, here.

Of course the code's still new and a bit rough around the edges; a couple 
days ago I pulled and couldn't build as the no-gnome-keyring build was 
broken at the time; but the code's there and improving. =:^)
