.SH 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.

.SH USAGE REFERENCE

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