Dear colleagues,
I would be grateful if someone could confirm if I've done everything right: a). I'm using Mutt 1.5.18 on Mac OS X 10.5.8 with gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.9 b). Here is a fragment from my .muttrc: --- set pgp_decode_command="/opt/local/bin/gpg %?p?--passphrase-fd 0? --no-verbose --quiet --batch --output - %f" set pgp_verify_command="/opt/local/bin/gpg --no-verbose --quiet --batch --output - --verify %s %f" set pgp_decrypt_command="/opt/local/bin/gpg --passphrase-fd 0 --no-verbose --quiet --batch --output - %f" set pgp_sign_command="/opt/local/bin/gpg --no-verbose --batch --quiet --output - --passphrase-fd 0 --armor --detach-sign --textmode %?a?-u %a? %f" set pgp_clearsign_command="/opt/local/bin/gpg --no-verbose --batch --quiet --output - --passphrase-fd 0 --armor --textmode --clearsign %?a?-u %a? %f" set pgp_encrypt_only_command="pgpewrap /opt/local/bin/gpg --batch --quiet --no-verbose --output - --encrypt --textmode --armor --always-trust -- -r %r -- %f" set pgp_encrypt_sign_command="pgpewrap /opt/local/bin/gpg --passphrase-fd 0 --batch --quiet --no-verbose --textmode --output - --encrypt --sign %?a?-u %a? --armor --always-trust -- -r %r -- %f" set pgp_import_command="/opt/local/bin/gpg --no-verbose --import -v %f" set pgp_export_command="/opt/local/bin/gpg --no-verbose --export --armor %r" set pgp_verify_key_command="/opt/local/bin/gpg --verbose --batch --fingerprint --check-sigs %r" set pgp_list_pubring_command="/opt/local/bin/gpg --no-verbose --batch --quiet --with-colons --list-keys %r" set pgp_list_secring_command="/opt/local/bin/gpg --no-verbose --batch --quiet --with-colons --list-secret-keys %r" set pgp_autosign = yes set pgp_autoencrypt = yes set pgp_sign_as=0xEC0E4D22 # This is my the only one public key, which is paired with my the only one private key set pgp_show_unusable = no <...> my_hdr Cc: <my-ot...@adress> # I email a copy of every letter to my other address --- c). Now, I compose an email To: s...@address (and Cc: my-ot...@address is automatically added). I see in the letter's window that 'PGP' is set to 'Sign, Encrypt (PGP/MIME)' and 'sign as' is set to '0xEC0E4D22' -- so, everything looks nice, exactly according to the .muttrc. d). Then I press 'y', and Mutt asks me to 'Enter keyID for s...@address: '. And here goes question No. 1: Why? I have the only one key, which is listed in .muttrc, so, shouldn't Mutt just take it automatically? e). However, I press Enter, Mutt shows me my pubic key, I do select it by pressing Enter again (and, actually, I have no other choice), and then the history repeats, and Mutt asks me for the key for 'my-ot...@address' (which is listed in Cc:). 6. So, I do press Enter-Enter once again, Mutt asks me for PGP passphrase, I enter it, and then gpg says 'gpg: 0xEC0E4D22: skipped: public key already present', and that is my question No. 2: what does this phrase mean, why does it appear, and how can I avoid it? 7. After it my email flies encrypted to both addresses, so, there seems to be no error, but just to many additional keypresses :). And I would be very grateful if you could help me avoid [some of] them :). Sincerely yours, -- dsjkvf
