Install gnupg. Generate a key:
$ gpg --generate-key
Take a look at it:
$ gpg --listkeys pecondon
*SELF SIGN YOUR KEY*. Key ID is the 8 character block, e.g.:
pub 1024D/8DE4D38E 2003-06-11 Karsten M. Self (Primary permanent ...
...my key ID is 8DE4D83E. It's a substring from your full key
fingerprint.
$ gpg --sign-key <Key ID>
If you want others to be able to use your key, export your public key:
$ gpg --keyserver keys.pgp.net --send-keys <Key ID>
Within your .muttrc, the following may be useful. All the hooks are
built in already, you just have to enable them by default.

When sending mail, you can invoke the PGP menu with 'p', to set signing
and encryption options.
As for the SMIME encrytion used by some Microsoft mailers, I'm not
familiar with Mutt configurations/requirements for same.
Peace.
