Optional Headers

In the Headers text box, other headers can be added to the message in the format:

HeaderA: InformationA
HeaderB: InformationB

Example

I know a server that allows me to post messages to Usenet. I provide its email address in the Target Email Address and as I wish to post to alt.privacy.anon-server, I type the following header in the Headers text box:

Newsgroups: alt.privacy.anon-server

The server will process the message and the post should arrive in the news group.

End-to-End Encryption

End-to-End Encryption

The End-to-End Encryption section enables the user to encrypt and/or sign messages. The Target and Signer fields can receive either an UID or fingerprint. If more than one key is found for that query, nymphemeral will ask the user to be more specific, to avoid ambiguity.

There is also the option to use the Throw Key IDs checkbox, so that if someone obtains the ciphertext, they will not even be able to find out whom the message was encrypted to, because the key ID was removed. Therefore, when someone receives that message, they will have to use all of their keys to attempt to decrypt it.

If the message is being signed, either the GPG Agent or nymphemeral will prompt you for a passphrase to unlock the secret key:

Note: You should read the GPG Keyring section to add the keys involved in the End-to-End Encryption to nymphemeral’s keyring.
