My assumption would be that the callback for the prompt is issued to the local machine rather than passing back through SSH and Mutt doesn't know what to do with it. I don't have any experience with SSH tunneling though, so I can't say for sure. In that case, it shouldn't work since the key can't obtain its passphrase. ... > Something else I'm wandering about.

Like the previous case, there has to be a call for the pinentry. Even though it is tunneled through SSH, the call on the remote machine routes to the remote machine so you get a curses pinentry or some such. To get it to perform a call to pinentry on your local machine would require the call to be routed back through the tunnel. Neither response is much help, I know, but just my thoughts on what the issue is. Hopefully, one of the gurus on the list can help you through it. -- Antony Prince Key ID: 0xAF3D4087301B1B19 Fingerprint: 591F F17F 7A4A A8D0 F659 C482 AF3D 4087 301B 1B19 URL: http://pool.sks-keyservers.net/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xAF3D4087301B1B19
