Re: Update : 0.4.6

Add chiffred works perfect! Now, we would need the same the other way around. Automatically decrypting all attached crypted files.

Would that be possible as well?

Thx heaps for this already! :-)

Cheers,
Kilian

Re: Update : 0.4.6

I see the link "Attach chiffred file"  which from my understanding is a signature file, but how do you create such file based on the message you are signing?

Re: Update : 0.4.6

If you attach a chiffred file (who means encrypted in fact ^^), the file is encrypted and chiffed... I don't understand.

Re: Update : 0.4.6

I guess I just don't know what chiffred is...     I just don't understand how I take the message in the body  andn create a sig file based on it (which would be the chiffred file ?)

Re: Update : 0.4.6

Ho, you mean a simple sign in a file ? It's not possible for the moment, but it's planned.

Re: Update : 0.4.6

So what's the point of this "Attach chiffred file" link?  I could just as easily type up the message, create a sig file based on it, and attach it using the regular attachment buttons?

Re: Update : 0.4.6

Why can't you use a regular attachment button to attach that encrypted file?

Re: Update : 0.4.6

chiffre is German (and possibly French?) for "cipher" (http://dictionary.reverso.net/german-english/Chiffre). Attach an encrypted file. Personally, I love the linguistics and I'd like to see future versions keep "chiffred", but the English localization should, probably, unfortunately, read "encrypt & attach a file". Maybe keep "chiffred" (it's so succinct), and add some roll-over text with the longer translation.
