This is no >different to 'sign and RSA-encrypt' yes, but is there any way to do it, short of rewriting gpg, pgp to include a -d command similar to the -d command of 2.6.3? on a related note: the separation that can be done now, is from 2.6.x using the command: pgp -da (filename).pgp which (after giving the correct passphrase), produces filename.asc which is a free-standing armored signed file, verifiable, and displaying the text of the original message, but, is clearly different from an intentional armored signature file, which usually begins with 'ow' as the first two characters of the pgp block, so, would it be possible to somehow link such a separated signed file, and show that it had to be from a specific signed and encrypted file? {possibly through an mdc tag on the armor} if it 'could' be done, then, one would 'not' have to surrender a session key or secret key, to decrypt a signed and encrypted e-mail, one could simply {from a remote area, without anyone needed to 'witness' the decryption process} separate it into the armored signed file, and release that to the 'authorities', and show that it had to have come from the specific signed and encrypted e-mail in question. vedaal
