|  I would like to know how to sign, encrypt in text format with mailcrypt.
|  The standard mailcrypt-encrypt does pgp -st and I need pgp -sta. 

TinyPgp does that and lot more. Check out:

    1.4 Just added features

        For now FCC encrypt mode works at least in RMAIL.

        o   v1.130 Full non.nymserver.com account support
        o   v1.140 XEmacs20 and 1).15 compatibility
        o   v1.160 Added RMAIL/VM/GNUS sumamaries pgp minor mode.
        o   v1.180 Added custom.el support and started adding MH.
        o   v1.200 Started adding newnym type remailer support.
        o   v1.220 VM interface starts maturing
        o   v1.230 much better newnym account support 8weasel; efga; nym9
        o   v1.236 Remailing and Remailer chains are now fully supported.
        o   v1.245 Multiple newnym account handling added.
        o   v1.250 Secring can be kept in encrypted format 8new mode9
        o   v1.255 Better TM and GNUS support 8gnus auto install9
        o   v1.270 Prepared pgp5 support
        o   v1.280 Internal changes. Speedup 1.5 - 2x
        o   v1.300 TM auto-install added

    1.5 Planned feature list in order of priority

        o   bbdb support
        o   PGP 5 support as soon as I find tar.gz that compiles in
            HP-UX. The current PGP 5i for Unix is not very solid and
            I can't get it compiled.
        o   Automatic remail posting based on newsgroup
            8group based auto action support9
        o   Alpha8does it still exist9 + other account managing.
        o   Key handling mode, trust parameter, moving keys
            from/to keyrings.
        o   Creating keyring, Creating new pgp user ids, editing
            user ids.
        o   Read ~/.mailrc variables should be read/written
            to separate file to speed up loading TinyPgp.
            This is only noticeable during startup; don't know
            if I should consider improving this.

    1.6 Overview of general features

        o   Interface to the usual PGP functions, including encryption,
            decryption, signature creation, signature verification, key
            addition, and key extraction
        o   Passphrase cache with configurable timeout
        o   Support for multiple secret keys
        o   An automagic interface to the PGP public key servers
            through http, ftp or email.


    1.7 Overview of advanced features

        o   Extra password protection, doesn't use -z option
        o   PGP signature showing/hiding in mail/newspost
        o   Multiple user identities handling 8you can change to user XXX9
        o   Multiple pubring management
        o   Conventional crypt supported 8pgp -c9
        o   Signing: X-pgp, base64, Regular.
        o   'One pass' encrypt and sign command

        o   File insert: as base64 signed. You can send and
            receive binary files 8tar9 as pgp signed.
        o   Individual auto-action: TinyPgp automatically encrypts/signs
            mail to persons that you have defined in auto action list.
        o   Multiple recipient auto-action: encrypts to CC list automatically.
            Soon you don't even realize that you use PGP regularly.

        o   Minor mode interface for any buffer: allows doing pgp on
            arbitrary regions


    1.8 Supported Emacs packages

        o   VM/MH/RMAIL/GNUS summary minor mode: in summary buffers the
            pgp commands looks for active message buffer.
        o   Emacs TM 7.106 MIME package compatible.
        o   You can customize all user variables with custom.el
            M-x customize-group RET TinyPgp RET

 
    1.9 Support for anonymous accounts

        o   Direct *Nymserver* type account support: , the successor of
            Famous anon.penet.fi.
