>Release:        FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE i386
>Organization:
NAS Systems Division, NASA Ames Research Center
>Environment:

	FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE (GILMORE) #0: Mon Oct 16 17:20:49 PDT 2000 

	Cvsup of kernel, utilities, and ports completed Oct 14 02:36

	Exmh 2.2
	PGP 5.0i
	Tk 8.2.3
	Tcl 8.2.3

>Description:

	One problem from my previous PR, ports/21437 remains:

	"Exmh will not use pgpv to check a Multipart/MIME Clear signature.
        Since the call to pgpv is in batch mode, there is nobody to ask if
        the user would like to overwrite /dev/null. (!)"

>How-To-Repeat:

	Send yourself a message with any kind of clear signature.
	Attempt to read it.  Exmh will refuse with an error message
	mentioning "+force".

>Fix:

	The fix required hasn't changed from ports/21437 either:

	"Make batch mode PGP 5.0i calls use the "+force" option, thereby
        eliminating the dubious need to request confirmation for
        overwriting /dev/null."

	The patch to do that follows:

	--- lib/pgpPgp5.tcl.orig        Wed Apr 19 09:54:14 2000
	+++ lib/pgpPgp5.tcl     Mon Nov  6 17:53:46 2000
