Variable: mh-mml-method-default

mh-mml-method-default is a customizable variable defined in mh-e.el.gz.

Value

"pgpmime"

Documentation

Default method to use in security tags.

This option is used to select between a variety of mail security mechanisms. The default is "PGP (MIME)" if it is supported; otherwise, the default is "None". Other mechanisms include vanilla "PGP" and "S/MIME".

The pgg customization group may have some settings which may interest you (see Info node (pgg)).

In particular, I turn on the option pgg-encrypt-for-me so that all messages I encrypt are encrypted with my public key as well. If you keep a copy of all of your outgoing mail with a "Fcc:" header field, this setting is vital so that you can read the mail you write!

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in MH-E version
8.0.
