   Hi August,

   Yes, I think it's easy enough...

   I actually just discovered I already had such a macro in my golded.cfg, I just   
   had to assign a key to it, to actually be able to use it. ;)   
      
   The only drawback is, I can't see the output of the decoding/verifying proces,   
   so I don't know if the encrypted message was signed with a trusted key, or   
   even not signed at all. It's probably just a matter of adding a "press any key   
   to continu" option to the end of the decoding script, to make that possible.   
   That would also work on clearsigned messages.   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
