Hello Michele, sorry for the ugly reply but i'forced to use
Exchange via web.. :(
As far as i know mutt comes in two flavours: US version (without
support for PGP or Gnugp) and International version with full
PGP and Gnpupg support.
According do mutt help int this version there are almost all
the macros you're reimplementing... i didn't checked on my Debian
system but i think that mutt international will be in a NonUS
repository.
I know that you love to reimplement things in rustic (and romantic)
way, and i like that approach.. but i think that reimplementing
this kind of stuff is not worth the efforts.
Talking about PGP, why not using the GNU alternative Gnupg? it
works exactly like PGP and is able to use/import keys from PGP.
It's just a suggestion :)
The last thing i have to say is that i'm a newbie teacher of
computer science in a local high school <italian> sono un supplente
di informatica in un istituto tecnico per ragionieri, corso
programmatori Mercurio </italian> and i will teach Linux at the
fifth class using Mulinux :) because in the lab we only have
Windows 95 machines and Mu is perfect thanks to his ability to be
inobtrusive :))
Thanks! :)
Good bye
Giovanni

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.
