[...] Returning to this, after the essential problem was solved (the presence of two dsn settings in my .muttrc), It is time to try method 2. I assume this script is intended to address a real sendmail or exim4, rather than the msmtp installed for the trial of method 1. As I read the manual, the -oem -oi options are not relevant to msmtp. But, again if I understand Florian's earlier post, Method 2 requires the use of sssh-agent. And I cannot see fromt he man page how to use it or configure it. IF I simply let mutt run the script as above, I get ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/bin/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory^M ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/bin/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory^M ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/bin/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory^M Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive). So I think I really need the ssh-agent. Help anybody? -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
