The following is in my ~/.muttrc (standard mutt that comes with potato). This automatically signs my outgoing mail as me. set pgp_default_version=gpg set pgp_autosign set pgp_sign_as=<your key id> set pgp_timeout=7200 Note that adding PGP/GnuPG signatures by default to all outgoing mail confuses some thick people who dont understand such things. You'll get a lot of `I couldn't open your attachment' complaints, as the PGP signature is a MIME attachment. I have added the following as well, which disables the PGP signature for mail I send from my default mailbox (ie., my day to day personal mail). However, I still use it on all my mailing list postings. folder-hook "!" unset pgp_autosign HTH, damon (who is always happy to help a fellow debian user, and fellow australian) -- Damon Muller (dm-sig6@empire.net.au) / It's not a sense of humor. * Criminologist / It's a sense of irony * Webmeister / disguised as one. * Linux Geek / - Bruce Sterling - Running Debian GNU/Linux: Doing my bit for World Domination (tm) -
