If you can talk to the admin of the remote host, you can put the credentials into some Unix environment variables on the laptop and make ssh lob them over (this is controlled by AcceptEnv, SendEnv and SetEnv in ssh configuration, including the sshd on the remote and that's what you need the admin's help for). Then in the remote .muttrc at the place where you need the credentials use a `printenv FOO` construct. I have done something like this but since then my program of radical simplicity has made some progress :-) -- Ian
