Mutt verwende ich nicht regelmäßig, es ist aber ein feiner Mail-Client den man im Textmodus benutzen kann.

Hier eine wenig kunstvolle oder ausgereifte Version der .muttrc

# Mix aus dem SuSE Beispiel ~/.muttrc und eigenen Konfigurationen ...

# Command formats for gpg.

# $Id: gpg.rc,v 3.1 2002/03/26 22:23:58 roessler Exp $
#
# %p    The empty string when no passphrase is needed,
#       the string "PGPPASSFD=0" if one is needed.
#
#       This is mostly used in conditional % sequences.
#
# %f    Most PGP commands operate on a single file or a file
#       containing a message.  %f expands to this file's name.
#
# %s    When verifying signatures, there is another temporary file
#       containing the detached signature.  %s expands to this
#       file's name.
#
# %a    In "signing" contexts, this expands to the value of the
#       configuration variable $pgp_sign_as.  You probably need to
#       use this within a conditional % sequence.
#
# %r    In many contexts, mutt passes key IDs to pgp.  %r expands to
#       a list of key IDs.

# Note that we explicitly set the comment armor header since GnuPG, when used
# in some localiaztion environments, generates 8bit data in that header, thereby
# breaking PGP/MIME.
