Under what context is that in your muttrc---is it in the middle of a variable setting or something? > It makes perfect sense, thanks again for explaining it so clearly. > Fantastic, then, so I just need to replace "0x31577172" at each > occurrence in the .muttrc with "%?a?-u %a?"... Not exactly, but close. Here's an example from my muttrc (more or less), to demonstrate how it's used. Pay close attention to what gets replaced: set pgp_encrypt_sign_command="pgpewrap gpg %?a?--encrypt-to %a? --charset utf-8 --force-mdc %?p?--passphrase-fd 0? --batch --quiet --no-verbose --textmode --output - --encrypt --sign %?a?-u %a? --armor --always-trust -- -r %r -- %f" When that is actually executed (assuming I send a message to you, for example, mutt will interpret that command to be: pgpewrap gpg --encrypt-to 0xCA8E235E --charset utf-8 --force-mdc - --batch --quiet --no-verbose --textmode --output - --encrypt --sign -u 0xCA8E235E --armor --always-trust -- -r 0x31577172 -- /tmp/mutt-tunican-501-8500-1097 See how that works? But yes, then the command will always refer to the correct key ID's, no matter what you've set that key ID to be, without having to reset the pgp command yourself. ~Kyle - -- Whenever you have an efficient government, you have a dictatorship. -- Harry Truman, lecturing at Columbia University, April 28, 1959 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Thank you for using encryption! iD8DBQFG9+KxBkIOoMqOI14RAlbpAJ4wzvoihFBC4WhHUCo+qW7Pulo+ggCgvmSr Qy1qeMGvc0kzjMpEIB/ka9Q= =9ZmT -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
