Re: [PLUG] encryption question
|
The mutt party line is that mutt does things right, all others are
wrong. ;-) It's a bit shocking at first, but it starts to make sense
after a while. They don't want to make mutt do broken things just to
talk to broken or non-standards-compliant (e.g., Outlook)
apps. They'll find ways to make mutt understand broken/n-s-c stuff,
e.g., with formail, but they don't like to contribute to standards
entropy any more than necessary.
