If you are talking about using mail in StarOffice along with PGP, there are several GUI wrappers out that will cut and paste text while also becoming a PGP / GPG key manager, and do all of the work for you. Just copy and click basically. These are geheimnis, seahorse, and TKPGP. All of these work very well, but act as clear signing, and not PGP /GPG MINE. All in all, they work very well, and as a side benefit, manage your keyrings. Just copy or highlight the text, and click on the wrapper, it will automatically paste and encrypt/sign for you. Then just place it back into StarOffice. I use them with all my MUAs when I send mail to the Winders non-compliant PGP/MINE mailers. -- Best regards, Gary Today's thought: BREAKFAST.COM Halted - Cereal port not responding.

At the moment, I use the command-line utilities to encrypt/decrypt messages.

Interesting. When in a hurry, I do too.

But, in the past I used kmail, and I had it set up to routinely sign all my messages with a PGP signature. Doing this via the wrapper would be... less transparent.

Yes, I agree. Speaking of Kmail, the new KDE 2 has Kmail with built in pgp support, they really did a nice job on it overall. I still like my Mutt, and a couple of others.

It could be a short-term solution, but I'd still like to know whether it's possible to get PGP in staroffice up and running, sinds it does install a special java applet for it.

When I get a chance over the weekend, after Thanksgiving, I will play with it. I just setup StarOffice yesterday. Will let you know. -- Best regards, Gary Today's thought: Before you criticize someone walk a mile in his shoes. That way if he gets angry he'll be a mile away -- and barefoot.

The README file under /home/user/office52/ says as follows <p>PGP Support Under Unix PGP support requires a JAVA environment installed on the system, because the PGP to StarOffice link takes place by way of JAVA.

Now, I can't find any documentation on their site that makes any sense... I'm just hoping that StarOffice 6 or OpenOffice, whatever I should call it, does contain PGP support...

I've posted this question once before...

Does anyone know how of if you can use PGP with StarOffice for Linux?

StarOffice PGP support StarOffice supports - currently only in the 32-bit Windows version - e-mail encryption based on PGP version 5.5.3i and versions 6.02i and 6.5.1. These international versions of the software are available on the Internet (www.pgp.com).

This from starOffice help system

<p>> >

I've posted this question on several staroffice related sites... but there hasn't been any answer...

Thanks for any help!
