such as “pgp-sha256” instead.
Parameters hash_algo – GPGME hash_algo
Return type str
alot.crypto.decrypt_verify(encrypted)
Decrypts the given ciphertext string and returns both the signatures (if any) and the plaintext.
Parameters encrypted – the mail to decrypt
Returns a tuple (sigs, plaintext) with sigs being a list of a gpgme.Signature and plaintext is a
str holding the decrypted mail
Raises GPGProblem if the decryption fails
