Re: [GPGTools] two emails one public key? [Everything]

Ok, I've been successfully sending and receiving encrypted emails, but the one outstanding issue is that Lion Mail does not let me encrypt to the fellow who sends me messages from two different emails. I have key for the one email which works ok, but I'd like to add the second email somehow for outgoing encryption.
I do not see a way to do that.
Any tips appreciated.
Thx,
Ken

   Hi kbrown,

   we've recently added this feature via defaults.
   Please install the GPGMail nightly from http://nightly.gpgtools.org.

   After that open Terminal.app and type the following. Press enter when done:

   defaults write org.gpgtools.common PublicKeyUserMap -dict-add email fingerprint

   Replace email with your friend's email which is not included in the public key and the fingerprint with your friend's key's fingerprint.

   After that, please restart Mail.app and let us know if it worked!
   If for any reason it shouldn't please post the output of

   defaults read org.gpgtools.common PublicKeyUserMap

   I downloaded and installed GPGMail-trunk-106896.dmg from http://nightly.gpgtools.org.

   However this appears to install older version of GPG Keychain Access than what I already had, 1.0b6, I had 1.0b7.

   I don't quite know what you mean by'email with your friend's email which is not included in the public key ', I assume you mean in GPG Keychain Access.

   I want to be able to send to both emails.

   After doing:
   defaults write org.gpgtools.common PublicKeyUserMap -dict-add email fingerprint
   I see
   defaults read org.gpgtools.common PublicKeyUserMap
   {
       email = fingerprint;
   }

   Could you attach a screenshot showing your friend's key?
   Then I can tell you exactly what to type.

   Ok, I think I'm getting the picture, now I tried:

   defaults write org.gpgtools.common PublicKeyUserMap -dict-add [email blocked] 028B B4AE 1BEF E9F7 D0A9 550D 5D5D 6096 020F ED95
   But got this error:
   2012-03-19 14:14:01.825 defaults[10666:707] Key ED95 lacks a corresponding value

   The email that works is the one with red domain.com in the attached screenshot.

   Thx,
   Ken

   Perfect, that's exactly what you need to do. Only thing missing is, that you need to remove the spaces of the fingerprint, so that the final command reads:

   defaults write org.gpgtools.common PublicKeyUserMap -dict-add [email blocked] 028BB4AE1BEFE9F7D0A9550D5D5D6096020FED95

   Ok, now I see:
   defaults read org.gpgtools.common PublicKeyUserMap
   {
       "[email blocked]" = 028BB4AE1BEFE9F7D0A9550D5D5D6096020FED95;
       email = fingerprint;
   }

   Then I restarted both Mail and GPG Keychain Access, I do not however see the added email2 in GPG Keychain Access 1.0b7.

   I won't be able to test for real awhile, however the lock in a new email looks like it will work now.

   Why doesn't email2 show in the list in GPG Keychain Access?

   Thx!

   If you see the active lock in Mail now it is in fact working.
   It's not supposed to show up in GPG Keychain Access since this information is currently only read by GPGMail, it's a work around.
   The actual way this issue should be dealt with is asking your friend to add a UID to their key with the second email address and send you the updated public key.
   That way it would show up in GPG Keychain Access and be available in GPGMail.
   But since this is not always possible, we've implemented the work around in GPGMail.

   Ok, great, that clears it up a bit.
   Looks like it should work now.
   Thx,
