It is probaby a good idea if mutt has an option to show a list of all PGP  keys 
that people can choose from, as From: or sender's key to sign, encrypt or 
attach,  every time they compose a PGP message, if they have multiple email 
accounts. 

Such option may even also be good for choosing recipient key because some 
people use PGP keys that are different from their email address.

Composing ask From: address and arbitrary keys in PGP

2019-07-25 Thread GTC
1. When composing messages, mutt ask To: or recipient adress and Subject: and 
then go to editor. How to make mutt ask for From: or sender address only and 
then go to editor?

This is useful for people with multiple accounts or multiple identities in each 
email account if they set custom headers based on each email account or 
identity eg, From: address.

2. In PGP, mutt has crypt_opportunistic_encrypt to select keys based on To: 
address to the recipient. But PGP also need From: address or sender's key to 
encrypt messages, sign messages or even attch their own public key. By default, 
mutt uses system default key or oldest key created for encryption, sign 
messages or attach public key. 

How to choose arbitrary keys from PGP key chain as From: or sender's key to 
sign, encrypt or attach? Are there also some  
"From_crypt_opportunistic_encrypt" based on sende' key?

People with multiple accounts or multiple identities in each email account may 
want to use different keys that match their corresponding email accounts or 
From: address to sign, encrypt or attach in corresponding messages.
