Hello,
I have read the environment variables section in 'man mutt' and there
does not seem to be a MUTTRC environment variable. One can set using

Can someone confirm this is correct? Is there a reason for this?

So lately I'm experimenting a more gentle approach, namely using a

directory containing the important data (a passwords-only .muttrc, a
.msmtprc, a .fetchmailrc, and an .isyncrc).

2. On my home machine, I use GPG to decrypt the password part of the

In both cases, my .mutt/muttrc is in plaintext, which sources the
output of either the GNOME Keyring script or the GPG script.

Then, once you've encrypted it, you can create a wrapper command for
mutt that will decrypt it and use it to put those passwords into
mutt's environment:
#!/bin/sh
pwds=`gpg --decrypt ~/.passwords`
eval $pwds
exec mutt $@
And finally, in your muttrc, you

uhm. could you give some examples for this solution ?
it seems to require no external workarounds at all, so it seems neat!
i experimented with
`gpg
that `gpg --decrypt` straight into
the muttrc.
but Gandalf's advice is appropriated - this is enough for now :)

how would you deal with the MTA with the wrapper-based solution ?
i know only of :
using nbsmtp, in a dangerous way:
set sendmail=nbsmtp -P password ...
using ssmtp , in a dangerous way:
set sendmail=ssmtp -ap password ...
or using msmtp with 'password'
one could use

Well, I thought about that. We can solve it, but there are drawbacks
(such as needing other software, or using a temporary file).
For example, if you use gpg-agent to store your passphrase

Personally? I'd compile mutt with smtp support and be done with it.

every time it needs the

only when reading the muttrc file.
With that in mind, re-examine the idea of using source. Does it make
sense to say use the output of this command whenever you need the
value of ... source?.
