subthread on something else]
I'd add (and somewhat belatedly in this thread)
How do I get started using PGP/GPG with mutt?
It's quite hard for people not used to pgp/gpg to get going with
them. It's not entirely a mutt question, of course, but if we want to
encourage new mutt people eo use encryption, we should either point
them to a good tutorial, or at least give directions including how to
generate a key and how to use it.
Fwiw.
