[note: i sent this to my local linux user's group. i'm wondering if
anyone here has ideas on this? i've searched around a lot on this and
haven't found anything. i use the standard mutt with redhat 7.3 (Mutt
1.2.5.1i (2000-07-28)). if people could cc me that would be great, but
i'll also skim the archives thing. but essentially can i use pgp-hooks
autoselect pgp keys for specified users with mutt 1.x + gpg? can i do
it without a patch? if no to both, would a little perl wrapper to munge
the gpg output as i describe below actually work, or will it not work
on other keys? thanks!]
ok, i just played with pgp-hooks in mutt. as usual when experimenting
with pgp and mutt, i've enlisted our test admin paul jakma and our
emergency backup test admin, liam bedford[0]. sadly however i never
got past paul since there were too many errors (obviously on my side
as usual).
so this is the command mutt uses to list keys:
gpg --no-verbose --batch --with-colons --list-keys %r
and this is the pgp-hook i have set:
pgp-hook paulj@(itg\.ie|alphyra\.(ie|com)) 26034AA9
mutt asks if it should use key 26034AA9 and then it decides to make me
pick the key from the normal list. only after selecting a key that way
does it work. this is the sequence of commands:
gpg --no-verbose --batch --with-colons --list-keys 26034AA9
gpg --recv-keys [EMAIL PROTECTED]
gpg --no-verbose --batch --with-colons --list-keys paulj@alphyra Paul Jakma
this is what the latter command (which is used to build the list) produces:

the first set of keys can be dismissed. the annoying thing is that
the list is as long as the number of uid lines times the number of
pub/sub lines for each key. i changed the list command to spit out
various versions of the above. once i did that it selected correctly
the first time:
pub:f:4096:20:F960636AB35EAE31:2000-07-26:2004-07-11:72:f:Paul Jakma

which merges the pub:f:1024 line with the sub:f:4096 line. now,
newer versions of mutt apparently have this solved. is this true?
and is anyone using mutt and pgp-hooks just fine? how are your pgp_
commands set?
