Maybe I'm about to expose my ignorance in public, but what is the following
text from the mutt manual referring to if not a way to specify what programs to
use?
[from the section "configuration commands"]
================================================================================
ispell
Type: string
Default: "ispell"
How to invoke ispell (GNU's spell-checking software).
[snip]
pgp_v2
Type: string
Default: system dependent
This variable allows you to override the compile time definition of where
the PGP 2.* binary resides on your system.
[snip]
pgp_v5
Type: string
Default: system dependent
This variable allows you to override the compile time definition of where
the PGP 5.* binary resides on your system.
================================================================================
Or is this just inaccurate information? (I suppose it could be, I didn't
check mutt's source..)
