## If the wizard fails
Write with computer
### Sending plaintext
This is documented in my Icedove / Thunderbird guide.
### Signing by default.
Open Edit --> Account Settings --> OpenPGP security and select "Enable OpenPG support (Enigmail) with this user information". Then select "Use specific OpenPGP key" and press the "select key" button. Now just select your private key.
After you have selected the key, I recommend you to select the first and the second boxes, which are about signing.
Remember to do this for multiple identities. Select the account and then click the "manage identities" button.
## Sending UTF-8
Write to Icedove / Thunderbird guide.
I have documented this in my Icedove / Thunderbird guide.
This only changes the charset line to UTF-8 or removes the mentioning of charset in signature.
# Testing that everything works
Write about Adele
Adele is PGP email bot. You can send email to it and it will tell you if it can decrypt your email or is it signed.
You can get the PGP key of Adele by running
> gpg2 --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 92AB3FF7
Just send your email to adele-en@gnupp.de and it will reply shortly.
# Sending PGP/MIME instead of PGP/INLINE
I personally don't recommend this, because of my reasons. PGP/MIME puts the signature to signature.asc ataachment and PGP/INLINE into "mess" in the bottom of email.
PGP/MIME puts the signature to signature.asc ataachment and PGP/INLINE into "mess" in the bottom of email.
WARNING: This might not work with some mailing lists (for example Ubuntu, Mozdev and GnuPG mailing lists)!
There is open bug report about PGP/MIME not working on Ubuntu MLs at LaunchPad, [996581]
[996581]:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/996581
NOTE: If you want to sign emails and use HTML at the same time, you *must* use PGP/MIME or otherwise your signature cannot be verified!
Write the instructions here.
To send PGP/MIME by default, open Edit --> Account Settings --> OpenPGP security and check "Use always PGP/MIME".
Remember to check to do this for your all identities in case you have more than one of them. Edit --> Account Settings --> "Manage Identities..." button and after selecting identity, you can find OpenPGP security tab.
# OpenPGP headers.
To enable sending OpenPGP headers, return to OpenPGP settings (mentioned above) and click "advanced".
Select the both checkboxes and write URL where your key is located. If you don't have homepage, you can link to webui of your preferred keyserver.
These headers appear in email source like this:
```
OpenPGP: id=82A46728;
url=http://mkaysi.github.com/PGP/key.txt
