Hello! % % When I do a limit of my emails with ~b (search through the emails' body) it % does not search through the encrypted mails' body even though I have typed my gpg % pass phrase and openend the encrypted mail successfully. Yeah. Bummer. % % How do I search through the body of encrypted mail? AFAIK at this time you can't; the closest you'd be able to come is to decrypt-copy them all to a temp folder and then search in there. The problem, I'm sure is the potentially enormous time it would take to decrypt each message to check it, and then you also get into various messes of decrypted copies floating around in memory and such if you're truly paranoid^Wsecurity conscious. I also don't know about mutt's search and limit algorithms, but I know that it seems to take an awfully long time at "constructing search pattern" (or close) before it actually goes off and finds the next match, and if I change my search it takes a while again; perhaps it maintains a hash of all messages in the folder and searches against that but has to build the hash each time, or perhaps it really has to do with building a regexp. Anyway, if anyone else knows how to search within encrypted bodies, I'd love to hear it, too. % % Shaun 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!
