What do you think?
Thanks, Kyle. The gpg.rc that ships with my distribution's mutt includes set pgp_getkeys_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch --fetch-keys hkp://subkeys.pgp.net" The command needs some tweaking; it leaves my screen in a disarrayed state, but I think what I need--and what you put me on to--is a message hook that simply excludes ~l. -- JL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This message optimized for teletypes.
