It is really this simple to do using mutt. 1. To encrypt the vote you need to have the key. It could be accomplished in several ways.

To show that it's your vote you must sign the email. So, when you are ready to forward the "call for votes" email that has your votes set to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address you hit "p" (to go into the gpg interface in mutt) and then "b" for "both" i.e. sign and encrypt. Enter your passphrase as asked and off you go. Cheers, Alex. P.S.: I did have one vote rejection as I carelessly chose "e" for encrypt instead of "b" for both in mutt the first time. Oh, well.
