source "gpg -q -d ~/.mutt/bla.gpg |" set folder="imaps://imap.bla.com:993" set from="u...@bla.com" set imap_user="$from" set smtp_url="smtp://$imap_u...@smtp.bla.com:587" $ gpg -dq bla.gpg set imap_pass="theH0lyGrail" set smtp_pass="$imap_pass" $ The prompting is done by pinentry, and the storage is provided by gpg-agent. How long the password is stored is controlled by gpg-agent.conf:default-cache-ttl.
