open up your muttrc and add the --no-auto-key-retrieve option to the gpg call. Of course, you won't automatically retrieve keys, but it will speed things up. You can also just leave it the way it is and send it an interrupt (^C) any time it lags to skip the key retrieval (and the signature verification) and just show the message. See man gpg for info on the --no-auto-key-retrieve option. -- Vineet http://www.anti-dmca.org Unauthorized use of this .sig may constitute violation of US law. echo Qba\'g gernq ba zr\! |tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M'
