That's the reason it needs to call an external program (such as PGP, GPG, etc) to read the message. Only that program will know what passphrase is required. -- David DeSimone | "The doctrine of human equality reposes on this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | that there is no man really clever who has not Hewlett-Packard | found that he is stupid." -- Gilbert K.

RFE: ask for PGP passphrase: which key?
Is there a chance to modify the prompt:
Enter PGP passphrase:
to include an identification of the key that is required?
Background: I have multiple PGP keys protected with different
passphrases. Sometimes it is not clear which PGP key has been used
for encryption and then I have to look at the message to see for
whom it is. If mutt could try to lookup possible recipients in
alternates and tell me for which of those the mail is, then I could
enter the correct passphrase immediately. (In case you wonder:
some PGP keys are shared with others ("role accounts") and I prefer
to have different passphrases for them).
I know this doesn't work all the time, but it seems to be a
useful enhancement.
Any comments?
