I'm developing a series of macros for the mutt mailer, able
to handle PGP keys in a simple way.
I developed a menu, accessed with the "k" key, that offers this
possibilities
1) create new public/secret keys
2) remove some keys
3) mail to someone my public key
4) extract the key that some other sent me and
add it in my PGP data-base
I do not know what's the state-of-art in this kind of knowledge on
the list (my is very at beginning). But I'm now studing the subject.
I started from www.pgpi.org.
Because my regular Linux system and muLinux will use the same
PGP and MUTT releases, I will do the works once.
I will sent on the list two email: one, encrypted and signed with
my public PGP keys; the next, I sent my public key certificate,
in a separated messages.
In mutt, the 2th is marked with "K", because it use a special MIME
for send public-keys on Internet; the 1th, is marked "P", because
it is encrypted with PGP.
So, if someone is able to extract my public-key from the 2th
message, it is also able to decifrate the 1th message. In this
case, please, resent the 1th message in clear-text on the list.
When you will have the new Mutt configured for muLinux, you can
do these step simply pressing a key :-)
Hope it works, because I'm still testing.
Michele
