mutt uses mime/pgp. This message is in that format. You will need mutt-i
from the non-us dist, but that's doable. If you're using procmail there
is a /usr/doc/mutt-i/pgp-Notes.txt.gz file--read it. If you're using
procmail, you can make mutt see non-mime pgp stuff too.
If you don't use procmail, well, start. =>

^j will justify your paragraphs which cleans them up a lot. =>
For keybindings, include the /usr/doc/mutt/examples/Pine.rc in your
.muttrc file. Or better, zcat /usr/doc/mutt/examples/sample.muttrc.gz >
~/.muttrc, open that file up in your favorite text editor and insert the
pine.rc just after the set's. There is one line you will have to comment
out because it's changed or been removed (not sure which since I don't
use the tagged message stuff) The line is
#bind index ; tag-message
I also comment out another from Pine.rc:
#bind pager \n noop # PINE prints "No default action for this
menu."
Enter will once again scroll like it does in less.

Not a problem. In fact, I have MANY folders, several incoming and several
for saved messages. This like (which I changed from the default in
sample.muttrc.gz) helps a LOT with that:
set sort_browser=alpha # how to sort files in the dir browser
The difference between this and the way it works in pine is you press g
and then it'll ask you for what folder to open, press ? and you get a l
type listing. I'm thinking of rebinding things a bit to get list reply
(watch that with mailing lists--I slip sometimes and hit r myself) to work
like it did in pine, ie on the r key, make L the filter and make l do a
macro of of g?, it might help me cope a little bit. =>
You get used to the differences quickly.

I make mutt's interface very pine-like, but I keep some of the slrnisms I
rather liked.
