this is already completed in CVS, and in fact, seems to work better than mutt ;-) I'm now working on making the gpg interfaces better by presenting the user with key information in the passphrase prompt and allowing up to 3 tries to get the passphrase correct (gpg only allows 3 tries and then aborts). I've also been saving information such as 'trust' in the backend, but as of yet have no way of displaying this information in the front-end. I'm not actually sure how badly this is even needed as we display gpg's stderr which basically contains all this information anyway. Only reason I'm fiddling with parsing/saving this data is that my state-machine was wasting 24 bits of data and I figured I'd put it to good use ;-) Jeff -- Jeffrey Stedfast Evolution Hacker - Ximian, Inc.
