May I check my thought about achieving the effect
of encrypting to self while avoiding the loss of
anonymity?
Put this in Mutt.aliases (or functional equivalent):
alias moi ${NAME} <${USER}@${HOST}>
Define these macros in Muttrc or .muttrc:
macro compose \ce "bmoi\npe"
macro compose \cb "bmoi\npb"
^E in the compose menu puts myself on the "Bcc: "
line, invokes the pgp menu, and chooses "encrypt".
Am I right in thinking that the message Bcc-ed to
myself is encrypted quite independently of the
message "To: " whoever (and vice-versa, which is
what actually matters)?
Cheers, N.
