Your understanding is pretty much correct, and Will has given you the mutt solution for communicating via ascii-pgp with Outlook (this involves a patch). For sending signed/encrypted messages to Outlook you might want to also look at the alternative s/mime system (also a mutt patch) or you can ascii pgp encrypt/sign the body of your mail in your editor (ie. outside of mutt altogether). -- Bruno
