NAME

       topal - GPG/GnuPG and Alpine/Pine integration

SYNOPSIS

       topal [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       Topal  is  yet  another  program that links GnuPG and Pine/Alpine. It offers facilities to
       encrypt, decrypt, sign, and verify messages.  It  can  also  be  used  directly  from  the
       command-line.

       Multiple  PGP  blocks  included  in  the  text  of a message are processed. Decryption and
       verification output can be cached to reduce the number of times the passphrase is entered.
       RFC2015/3156  multipart  messages  can  be  sent and received with help from some scripts,
       procmail and a (deprecated) patch to Pine/Alpine. It includes basic support for  verifying
       S/MIME  multipart/signed  messages.  There is a remote sending mode for reading email on a
       distant computer via SSH with secret keys on the local computer. There is a high level  of
       configurability.

USAGE REFERENCE

       Use the -help option, or see the README file.
