Mutt and PGP passphrase
Mutt can remember the pgp passphrase once it is entered by the user. How does mutt passes the phrase over to pgp when en-/decrypting a message? Is there an algorithm that checks for the pgp passphrase input message and sends it as stdin ? Daniel.

GnuPG autosign how
Hi. I have mutt 1.0.1-9 and GnuPG 1.0.1-2 installed in my Debian 2.2 box. I've looked at all the FAQs and I can't seem to figure out how to do "pgp_autosign" for all outgoing emails. All I get is: gnupg: [options] at the bottom of the screen after giving my passphrase and it won't be sent unless I disable "sign". What am I missing here? -- Who's watching the watchmen?

You may wish to try ncurses instead of the system-supplied curses library. May be a good idea anyways.

There are three ways to transfer the passphrase over to the pgp program: 1) set PGPPASS = "passphrase" 2) pgp ... -z "passphrase" 3) set PGPPASSFD = 0 the first line of the text file passed over to pgp is taken as the passphrase The pgp command from the pgp2.rc uses the third solution. The passphrase is sent via the command cat %?p?-? I'm not a unix expert. Can anyone explain these quotation marks (?), please? Can this %?p? be used in the mailcap file? I need to send the passphrase to mutt_octet-filter. Daniel.

'copiousoutput'!
Straight from my mailcap file:
text/html; netscape -remote 'openFile(%s)'; copiousoutput
This seems to put mutt into a wait mode awaiting for me to hit
Enter before proceeding. An extra keystroke, but great because I

[Q] Couln't lock mailbox - FAQ?
I suspect this is an FAQ. However, I couldn't find the answer. On Tru64 (Digital Unix) I configured mutt with --enable-flock --disable-fcntl together, only one of them as well as without either of them. In all cases, when I read my mail with the resulting executable and try to save a message, I get the following error message: Couldn't lock If it matters, I have installed the binaries in my home directory. Can some one please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks, Bharadwaj S. Bharadwaj Yadavalli E-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Free Unlimited Internet Access!

Ref. env variables in muttrc
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Is it possible to use environment variable values in the .muttrc file somehow? What I'd like to be able to do is put my KeyID for my PGP key into an environment variable, and then have my .muttrc reference this, telling mutt "to find his key id, look in the env var $KEYID": set pgp_sign_as=$KEYID My mail is sorted via .qmail files into folders, some of which are for work, and some of which are personal. I have a work key and a personal key. I am subscribed to dozens of email addresses under each ID/key, meaning that it would take well over 100 folder-hook's to supply either of two key-ids to each folder. If I had had the foresight to name the folders work-mbox, work-cisco-users, me-mbox, me-mutt, me-gnupg-users, etc, then I could now use a regexp in a folder hook. Unfortunately, this is not feasible. I currently read my mail via a zsh script I wrote that checks for mail in each of the folders, and sets my MAILHOST/MAILUSER (used by qmail) environment variables accordingly. I could easily add a couple of lines to this script to also set the 'KEYID' environment variable. Alternately, is it possible to supply the keyid on the command line? - -- "Restore your inalienable human rights.

According to the manual's section 3.1, this should work. I haven't personally ever tried this, though. >Alternately, is it possible to supply the keyid on the command line?

pgp-error...
Hi to all... sorry, this question is asked many time I thing I had read the documentation for mutt and pgp more or less and I installed pgp-2.6.3-i on my debian- mashine. I generated a new key and I I wanted to send me a test mail with a sign. In the send- menu of mutt, I hit p to use the pgp- feature in mutt and s to sign. When I hit y to send the mail, pgp wants me enter the passphrase, and I enter and then I got this errormessage: Can't open PGP subprocess!: No such file or directory (errno = 2) The passphrasse is correct, so, what is going wrong? Any suggestions? thnx Jan -- One time, you all will be emulated by linux! Jan- Hendrik Palic Url:"http://www.billgotchy.de" E-Mail: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Mutt not working with PGP 6.5.2
Hello, I'm trying to get PGP 6.5.2 working with mutt. I downloaded the pgp6.rc file and am sourcing it in my .muttrc. Everything seems to work up to the point where I choose the keyID for the user, then it bombs. Here is the message it outputs: -- Mutt: PGP keys matching <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

I'm sure its one of the pgp_encrypt_only_command line in the pgp6.rc file, but since I'm not a pgp wizard, I need a bit of hand holding. I changed all the references of pgp6 to pgp in my pgp6.rc so there shouldn't be any problem there.

Re: [Q] Couln't lock mailbox - FAQ?
David T-G proclaimed on mutt-users that: > Are you sure that shouldn't be 2775 instead? I don't think we need > stickiness, but to ensure that only root and mail can write in there... Not the mailboxes - the directory /var/spool/mail/ ... From the pine 4.21 docs ... In installations like mine where people run both mutt and pine 4.21, this is needed . What Systems Managers Need to Know about Pine File Locking There is an extensive section on locking in the Pine technical notes; this information is intended to provide answers to some common questions: 1. Why did locking change in Pine 4.00? The actual locking mechanisms did not change in 4.00. What changed is that when one particular locking mechanism used by Pine fails, Pine now issues a warning message. Prior to 4.00, the locking failure would occur, but no warning was issued. 2. Is this what the "Mailbox vulnerable" message is about? Yes. It means that Pine was unable to create a lockfile in the spool directory, generally because of overly restrictive protections on the spool directory. The correct permissions on the spool directory for running Pine are 1777, i.e. read-write-execute permission for everyone, with the sticky-bit set, so only owners of a file can delete them. -- Suresh Ramasubramanian + Wallopus Malletus Indigenensis mallet @ cluestick.org + Lumber Cartel of India, tinlcI Be valiant, but not too venturous.

Re: spamfilter for procmail
raf proclaimed on mutt-users that: > not if you run procmail on the other side of the modem > before popping the mail to the local host. That saves you part of the cost - but your ISP still has to bear the cost of receiving the spam - and several ISPs figure out the costs involved in getting spammed and running an abuse desk / hiring admins to block spam. Who do you think bears all these costs? The users. > > MTA blocks are far better > > and it only takes one line in sendmail.cf :) It takes just the same (but in plain english, more or less) in exim ;) -- Suresh Ramasubramanian + Wallopus Malletus Indigenensis mallet @ cluestick.org + Lumber Cartel of India, tinlcI Be valiant, but not too venturous.

GNUpg repost
Sorry folks I'm reposting since my recipe dunk all my emails to /dev/null. doh. My question is how to make GNUPG (1.0.1-2) and mutt (1.0.1-9) sign all my emails automagically. At present if I manually make it sign an email it would ask for the passphrase, and then would puke and give me: gpg: [options] without doing anything. What am I missing here? -- Who's watching the watchmen? Key fingerprint = E619 726E 3815 7A48 EAC7 E49F DF93 4E33 B069 0883
