Yes, but I was surprised as it is a detail. I had never thought that
people would notice such a detail. But I anyway find it important.

I am using a special configuration with homemade parameters. Here are
the potential things which would potentially interfere with my
settings:

1. MIME Settings (from my .gnus):

;; MIME Settings for PGnus
 (require 'mm-util)
 (defun mm-read-charset (prompt)
   "Return a charset."
   'iso-8859-15)
 (setq gnus-default-posting-charset (quote iso-8859-15))
 (setq gnus-article-decode-mime-words t)
 (setq gnus-article-decode-charset 1)
 (setq gnus-mime-view-all-parts t) ; View all the MIME parts in current article
 (setq gnus-ignored-mime-types
       '("text/x-vcard"))
 (setq gnus-unbuttonized-mime-types nil) ; MIME type -> no buttons when rendered
 (setq

2. I had pretty nothing to do to configure Mailcrypt correctly (it was really a
straightforward installation). Thus, I am having various parts of my
Gnus being mixed with Mailcrypt (Mailcrypt is integrated in it): when
sending an e-mail, or to a newsgroup, it asks me to sign. I am obliged
to sign. For example, I have to type C-c y (my private key).

I am going to try to use epa, but I do not want it to messes with my settings.

Sorry if that is what my attitude looks like. That is not what I want
to do: if epa is better (and it seems so, as suggested by 2 or three
different people), I need to use it. I simply do not want that it
messes with my different homemade settings.

Thanks for your precious help.
