GPG _and_ PGP?
I have a number of contacts that are unable or unwilling to upgrade to GPG or PGP 2.6.*. This means that they must use RSA and IDEA. While GPG now speaks RSA, and can be patched to support IDEA (though I have yet to get this to work, as I haven't had the time to get all of the source patched manually), a simpler solution would be for mutt to handle GPG and PGP. I have some thoughts... Since mutt simply calls the strings in the config file, there is no reason why they could not be replaced with smart scripts. Has anyone done this? What I am looking for is a script replacement that will check both key rings when verify signatures or decrypting files and return the correct results. It would be nice if the script would also process inline signatures (though mutt would need to be patched for this). For encrypting, it would be nice if it could search both keyrings for the key and encrypt it with the appropriate version. Since some of this can't be done with scripting (mutt doesn't call the verify function if it does not see an detached sig, so an inline attached sig is ignored, as is inline encryption. Even though I have revoked my PGP keys, I still get encrypted email from people using 2.6.*, and mutt just ignores it... -- "Restore your inalienable human rights.

Sometimes simple solutions are best. If one is using zsh, one could try this: mutt -f (cat $(find . -type f | xargs fgrep -l searchstring)). This might not work due to the missing 'From ' line, but that can always be added: mutt -f (for i in $(find . -type f | xargs fgrep -l searchstring) ; do ; grep '^From: ' $i | head -1 | sed s/From:/From/ ; cat $i ; echo ; done) If one is using a lesser shell, something like this might work: for i in `find . -type f | xargs fgrep -l searchstring` ; do mutt -f $i ; done None of these are tested, BTW.

How do I put a msg into the msg I'm composing?
A question about mutt forwarded from an elm user: I'd like to be able to incorporate into the message I'm composing an arbitrary message from the current folder, whatever it is, without first having to tag that message and without having to incorporate it as an attachment. Secondarily, it would be nice if I could use some standard prefix (like "=filename") to get "readmsg" to recognize the path to "filename" without my having to type the whole thing. There are three different directories (one of which is actually a subtree) in which I'm likely to look for a message. I don't insist on having all three of my directories recognized; one would do just fine. Thank you! -- // [EMAIL PROTECTED] //
automatically changing email address...
I've got a question for you guys, I'm using the following rules to differentiate between internal work email and external email. I'd like however, to be able to bind a key (for example, 'M') to mean send but always use my work email address as the From: header. # nightshade email (default) send-hook . my_hdr From: Josh Huber [EMAIL PROTECTED] send-hook .

Another (completely unrelated) question I had was regarding the PGP support. I've been using it for a while now, but I'd like to have some way to select a key for encryption automatically. Well, it does already do that, but I still get a list of all the uids listed for the GPG key. Selecting any of them works because gpg automatically selects the right key for encryption, but automatically having this done would be nice. I immagine this could be done with a macro, but is there a cleaner solution? Thanks, -- Josh Huber | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 1024D/6B21489A 61F0 6138 BE7B FEBF A223 E9D1 BFE1 2065 6B21 489A PGP signature
Message temporary file.
I am not sure whether I am doing something the right way, but I have come up against a wall. In the attach menu after saving the message, I want to modify the message considerably by piping it to a script. The modifications are such that they can not be done in situ. I have to create another temporary file. The question is this - how do I replace the original temporary file in the tmp directory by the new one so I can then send the new file rather than the original? Is there a variable that refers to the original file so I can just do:- mv /tmp/new-file $variable and overwrite the original message file? I can not find a pointer to this but I may be missing the obvious of course.
