You can get most of what I expect you want with:

set editor="cp %s %s.2; (xterm -e mutt -e 'set editor=vi' -H %s.2; rm %s.2) &"

That's starting another session, but it has no need of -R, and the
session is strictly instantial -- it lasts only as long as the
composition does, and it pops its own terminal.

You don't get the compose menu in the original mutt instance with the
above $editor, but frankly, that's preferable to me.

This approach also doesn't allow the parent instance to know whether a
message has really been replied to.

Thank you. This works for me. I had the idea, but not the knowledge to
do it for myself.

What's your key ID looking like?




Mutt & PGP.. problem

2000-11-24 Thread Scott Davis

Hi!

I have installed Pretty Good Privacy 2.6.3i on this FreeBSD box and all
went well.  I am trying to integrate it into Mutt 1.2.5i, and that seems
to go 99% ok.  The problem I have is this:

I created a key for myself on this machine using 'pgp -kg'

When I go to use Mutt, send mail to myself, and choose to (e)ncrypt the
mail, I get the following prompt before it tries to send the mail:

'Enter keyID for [EMAIL PROTECTED]'

It wants input here and will not send unless I enter the correct info,
which I do not know and don't know where to look.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?  Thanks in advance!

Since Exim - and the relevant RFC - offer two possibilities of
handling the Bcc header, it seems reasonable to give users the
opportunity to use that option.

That was a stupid mistake.
I used the setting without #, I only hashed it away because it littered
the lower part of Mutt with garbled error messages. I use 'set
pgp_getkeys_command=""' until I find out what's wrong with the real
setting.

Sorry for the confusion.
