 ("pgpmime" combined))

Documentation

Alist specifying if signencrypt results in two separate operations or not.

The first entry indicates the MML security type, valid entries include the strings "smime", "pgp", and "pgpmime". The second entry is a symbol separate or combined where separate means that MML signs and encrypt messages in a two step process, and combined means that MML signs and encrypt the message in one step.

Note that the output generated by using a combined mode is NOT understood by all PGP implementations, in particular PGP version
2 does not support it! See Info node (message) Security for
details.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 22.1.
