Probably be easier to put ~/Mail on a cfs filesystem.

Looks like the open and close hooks work fine for this.  I got a message
about the mailbox being corrupted when mail was added to it while it was
open, but the mailbox was fine.  I guess it was just because it had been
modified.   Only problem with this is I have a fairly long passphase and
it gets a bit tedious to type it in every time some mail is added to the
mailbox.

Wouldn't it be a better solution to keep the whole sent-mail-folder
encrypted to  using the open/close-hook-thingies in the
compressed-folders-patch? 

Then the security issues with having all external encrypted mail 
being encrypted to self will be gone.

Or is it not possible to use these hooks for the sent-mail-fcc-folder?

The way I got around this problem was to put "encrypt-to " in
my gnupg options file.  That way all messages are encrypted to me and
the other person(s).

Mutt doesn't do that, but PGP does.

In GnuPG, you'd add the following to your ~/.gnupg/options file:

encrypt-to-self

PGP should have something similar.  If not, it sucks.  :-)

Also check the archives for a conversation YESTERDAY on this very
subject, where I talk about the security tradeoffs in doing this.

See the archives from the past week... I seem to remember it coming up.

Saving encrypted

[Alan Batie]

I've been using mutt with pgp and gpg for years now, and would like to
solve a nagging problem: when I started using it, I let it save my outgoing
mail encrypted until I discovered that it was saving the outgoing message
exactly --- encrypted to the recipient.  Well *that's* pretty useless, as
then *I* can't re-read the message, which is the point of saving it in the
first place.  I discovered the fcc_clear option, which saves the message
unencrypted and have been living with that, but what I *really* want is to
save them encrypted to *me*.  I thought I'd use fcc_hook and wrote a nice
little script to encrypt only the body so mailbox formats would continue to
work and then discovered that fcc_hook is just a filename, not a command.

Sooo, before I waste too much more time on this, I thought I'd see if anyone
else has solved this problem...

Thanks...
