Re: [PLUG] encryption question

Not only that, there's even an FAQ:

from http://www.fefe.de/muttfaq/faq.html:

    Why can't Mutt decode this PGP mail sent with Pine/ELMme/etc?
   
    Because this PGP mail does not say it is a PGP mail in the header, and Mutt
    only scans the header of mails. This is a feature!
    Well, there is a solution for your problem, if you use procmail. Add these
    lines to your .procmailrc:
    # Add a "Content-Type: application/pgp" header so Mutt will know the
    # mail is encrypted.
    :0 fBw
    * ^-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
    * !Content-type: multipart
    | formail -i "Content-Type: application/pgp; format=text; x-action=encryptsign"

    # Add a "Content-Type: application/pgp" header so Mutt will know the
    # mail is signed.
    :0 fBw
    * ^-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
    * !Content-type: multipart
    | formail -i "Content-Type: application/pgp; format=text; x-action=sign"

I guess if you don't use procmail, that doesn't work...
