Re: manually check pgp sig?

I'm not talking about setting pgp_verify_sig but rather a command that I can issue to do this at any time while viewing the message. Press "|" (pipe to command) and type "gpg --verify"? Curiously, this gives a different result from the check done by Mutt's invocation of GPG; Mutt gets: gpg: Signature made Mon Feb 5 02:34:45 2001 EST using DSA key ID 54B975CE gpg: Good signature from "smund Skjveland [EMAIL PROTECTED]" gpg: aka "smund Skjveland [EMAIL PROTECTED]" gpg: aka "smund Skjveland [EMAIL PROTECTED]" gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner. Piping gets: gpg: Signature made Mon Feb 5 02:34:45 2001 EST using DSA key ID 54B975CE gpg: BAD signature from "smund Skjveland [EMAIL PROTECTED]" Well, maybe not so curious; gpg-2comp does do some work Cheers, N. -- Nollaig MacKenzie [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.amhuinnsuidhe.cx Oppose renaming Mt Logan!! http://www.savemtlogan.com

Re: customize index_format for *one* mailbox?
On 2000.11.07 10:39:27, you, the extraordinary Hardy Merrill, opined: I'd like to customize the "index_format" for my "sent" mailbox to list the "to:" address instead of the "from:" address that it now displays. Is this possible to do for just one mailbox? Maybe with a folder-hook? My mutt seems to show everything I have sent with the "To: " line in the index (even things that go to mailing lists and get procmailed into folders, e.g. =Lists/mutt-users). I can't find anywhere that I set this So is it the default? But then it should be that way in your "sent" folder automatically. Curious.

Re: Fast forward (newbie++ question)
On 2000.10.17 06:08:33, you, the extraordinary Cliff Sarginson, opined: Often after reading a mail I need to forward it to a certain email address. This address is always the same one and I never need to change the subject or add comments in the text etc. Unfortunately until I read it I don;t know whether it needs to be forwarded or not. Can I define a key-binding or something so that with one push on a button the current mail message is addressed with the canned forwarding address and sent without any further interaction on my part ? This should do, assuming you haven't used "B" for something else: macro pager B "[EMAIL PROTECTED]\ny" Replace "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" by your target.

Well, then, you should simply encrypt to your key as well :-)
If you contemplate EVER using remailers, this is a BAD idea. It's very
easy to forget that outgoing messages are being encrypted to you, and that
anyone can see that fact. So, when your message, carefully routed through
a remailer chain to hide the source of the message, gets to the recipient,
s/he can see that it is encrypted to you (as can anyone else with access
to the encrypted message), which is a VERY strong clue as to who sent the
message.
May I check my thought about achieving the effect
of encrypting to self while avoiding the loss of
anonymity?
Put this in Mutt.aliases (or functional equivalent):
alias moi ${NAME} ${USER}@${HOST}
Define these macros in Muttrc or .muttrc:
macro compose \ce "bmoi\npe"
macro compose \cb "bmoi\npb"
^E in the compose menu puts myself on the "Bcc: "
line, invokes the pgp menu, and chooses "encrypt".
Am I right in thinking that the message Bcc-ed to
myself is encrypted quite independently of the
message "To: " whoever (and vice-versa, which is
what actually matters)?

AFAIK, you're not right. The sendmail (or equivalent) program gets invoked only once by Mutt, and all the copies will be thus sent at that one go. The message going to everyone is identical. Quite right, as usual (just for that I'm going to make a sig asserting the superiority of the Dixie Chicks to the Corrs :-) The single message contains the info about both the keys used to encrypt, it seems.

Unfortunately, this translates directly into more traffic on the mailing lists that is of fairly low interest to at least the Original Ones ...
