Sending Messages¶
Sending a message is simple. Fill in the Target Email Address
,
Subject
and Message
fields and click Send
.
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¶
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:

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