Well, aside from his preference for that other OS, he's a pretty great
boss.  So I'll let him slide.  This time.

Are you implying that mutt actually pays attention to  headers?
What a bizarre concept!  Most MUAs seem to think they exist only to pad
out that useless top third of the message...

Check out the PGP-Notes file in the doc and implement the procmail rule
specified therein.

mutt not detecting PGP encrypted messages from Outlook

2000-09-20 Thread Ben Beuchler

What does mutt look for in order to decide that a message is encrypted?
My boss is sending me messages encrypted using Outlook's PGP plugin and
they're showing up as plain text.  If I pipe 'em out to "gpg --decrypt"
the decrypt fine, but since mutt thinks they are plain text the decrypt
command doesn't work.
