I guess we got each other wrong here, I was indeed talking about encrypting AND sending to the keyholder. None the less I stick to the policy of choosing a proper, content describing, subject which in return does reveal information about the content while traveling over the net. So a dummy subject which might be overridden after the first decryption might fit the purpose of “hiding” information about the mail… I wonder if there’s some ideas on that yet. Thank you. P.M.

Standard mu search: mu find --clearlinks --format=links --linksdir=~/mail/search Good idea. I never thought of changing the results folder on the fly.
Re: OpenPGP and Subject encryption
If you were to somehow encrypt the subject and send the email, how would you propose the recipient decrypts it? Email subject line encryption just isn't a feature of PGP, per RFC 4880. Even if Mutt could do it, chances are very slim the client on the other end would be able to decrypt it (I'm not aware of any that do this, though some may exist using proprietary solutions), and then there's the problem of multiple recipients, which could result in a very large subject field, which in itself could break delivery agents and mail clients.

set different index_format for mails
I try to set different *index_format* for maials. like this: message-hook "~g" "set index_format = ' A %H %C| +%N [%4Z] %-13L >> %s %> %4c' " # signed message-hook "~g" "set index_format = ' B %H %C| %N [%4Z] %-13L > %s %> %4c' " # replied This does not work. But folder-hook can set different *index_format*. like this: folder-hook . set index_format = '" %H %C| [%4Z] %-13L » %s %> %4c"' folder-hook =INBOX set index_format = '" %H %C| %N [%4Z] %-13L >> %s %> %4c"' # for macro "gi" Is there other way to set different *index_format* for mails ? If you have good idea, please tell me, thanks very much. -- stardiviner GPG: 5D9F64D8 Twitter: @numbchild http://stardiviner.dyndns-blog.com/author.html signature.asc Description: Digital signature
