Dave -- I agree that what you wish to accomplish (having mutt automatically encrypt a file that you attach for sending) should be possible. My suggestion there is to get the procedure nailed down manually and then try working on converting it to a batch. I can't tell from your messages whether or not you've done the former and where your problems are coming up.
However, I have myself done much the same thing. I always had multiple files and batched them up (since this was a backup script), so I just collected them into a tar file, encrypted it with a special backups key, and then sent that file as an attachment; when I got to work (where there was lots of drive space :-) it was a simple matter of detaching the file and then extracting the tar file; that was driven by script (to make the proper directory and such) and all I had to do was provide the passphrase. I don't know what sort of work you have to do at home, but if it involves sending files back to work you probably aren't in read-only mode, and so a tar file might work well for you. Another thing I did once things got too large for mailing was to put the encrypted tar file into an ftp dir and have a script connecting every five minutes watching for it to pull it over; all I had to do was drop the batch into place and it would soon enough get copied over. You could do this in two directions :-) HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
