Yes, I think it's easy enough...

I actually just discovered I already had such a macro in my golded.cfg, I just
had to assign a key to it, to actually be able to use it. ;)

The only drawback is, I can't see the output of the decoding/verifying proces,
so I don't know if the encrypted message was signed with a trusted key, or even
not signed at all. It's probably just a matter of adding a "press any key to
continu" option to the end of the decoding script, to make that possible. That
would also work on clearsigned messages.

Bye, Wilfred.
