Good job. I'm in haste, so am skipping over the msmtp password oddness.

Which to use is a matter of taste. E.g. '/home/.user.gpg' vs "~"'/.user.gpg' If you still find yourself stuck (or even if you don't), you might want to try using Pass as a wrapper around GPG: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pass_%28software%29 > On 2022-05-11 09:03:56, Cameron Simpson wrote: >> On 10May2022 07:25, Sam Kuper <sampabloku...@posteo.net> wrote: >>> On Mon, May 09, 2022 at 11:01:20PM -0500, x...@trimaso.com.mx wrote: >>>> ---To respond a received email in Mutt pager I hit 'r', and all the >>>> rest.

With GPG, hashed into another file somewhere else, etc... Yes, Mutt does have a way to achieve that. I hate so say "Read The Friendly Manual", but within https://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#muttrc-syntax you will find this example: set imap_pass="`gpg --batch -q --decrypt ~/.mutt/account.gpg`" https://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#ex-backtick-dblquotes Best, Sam -- A: When it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
