6. Pine

As of Pine 3.94, premail integrates both outgoing mail and the decryption of plain PGP incoming mail. Unfortunately, decryption of MIME-based mail is not yet supported.

Two Pine configuration options need to be set to integrate premail (i.e. from the main Pine screen, S for setup, then C for configure). First, sendmail-path should be set to a value similar to this (substituting the actual path to premail):

/your/path/to/premail -oem -t -oi

Second, display_filters should be set to a value similar to this:

_BEGINNING("-----BEGIN PGP")_ /your/path/to/premail -decode -body

If you have trouble finding these options in the setup screen, then you can edit the .pinerc file directly.
