Comment (by sithglan):

 Hello Tamo,
 Trust On First Use (TOFU) in mutt looks something like that: When a gpg or
 smime signed email is opened the first time with a new keyid or email
 address, mutt asks you what you want to do about it: You can trust it or
 not. This makes it easy to trust certain gpg or smime keys in mutt. If
 later on an email shows up with a different key for the same user id, mutt
 warns you about this fact. Also tofu can show you some statistics like:
 How often and what frequency you got signed mails from a certain party.

 Cheers,
     Thomas
