Comment (by sithglan):
Hello Tamo,
Trust On First Use (TOFU) in mutt looks something like that: When a gpg or
smime signed email is opened the first time with a new keyid or email
address, mutt asks you what you want to do about it: You can trust it or
not. This makes it easy to trust certain gpg or smime keys in mutt. If
later on an email shows up with a different key for the same user id, mutt
warns you about this fact. Also tofu can show you some statistics like:
How often and what frequency you got signed mails from a certain party.
Cheers,
Thomas
