I have made some progress, although I must do everything manually. I'm looking to automate the process with Vim, so if someone could help me with this, that would be awesome. I've set "edit_headers=yes" in my ~/.muttrc so I can edit the headers with Vim, my preferred editor. I can select a new line, then from command mode, run "! hashcash -m resource -X -Z 2" to add the line to the header, as I've done with this message. Then, I can continue to compose my message, save, quit and send. Rather than calling the external command manually, I would like to automate the process with a macro. So, the macro should be able to parse the "To:", "Cc:" and "Bcc:" lines, which would contain a comma-separated list of addresses, and run the hashcash command for each address, putting each result on its own line. I'm not sure how to handle Bcc: addresses, so we can ignore that for the time being. Any idea how I can create this macro? I guess asking a Vim mailing list would be more appropriate, but I figured because I'm looking to implement this into Mutt, it is still considered "on-topic" here. Of course, this is only minting the appropriate tokens, and not verifying and storing them, which is a separate issue entirely, and also needs to be addressed (even though I doubt anyone besides me is really interested in Hashcash for mail). If anyone could help me with this, that would be great. Thanks, -- . o . o . o . . o o . . . o . . . o . o o o . o . o o . . o o o o . o . . o o o o . o o o
