GnuPG and saving outgoing mails

Is there a way to save outgoing encrypted messages before they got encrypted with Mutt or another MUA?

Thanks in advance.


Best regards.

Re: GnuPG and saving outgoing mails

Well, if you're using mutt, IIRC, you specify the gpg commands in your config file.  You can probably pipe the message through 'tee' to save a copy prior to sending the output to gpg.  Just a thought anyway, it's been a while since I've used mutt, but it's very flexible, so there's gotta be a way.

You could also configure mutt to encrypt to the recipient (sp) and yourself.  That way the message will be encrypted in your sent mail folder, but you'll still be able to read it with your private key.

Re: GnuPG and saving outgoing mails

I just have in my .muttrc the various gpg commands (taken from someone's web page) and fcc hook is to a SENT folder.

Then, if I'm browsing my SENT folder, it's in there, and opens pretty much automagically.

I have a page on mutt that might be helpful

http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/mutt.html which has a link to the commands to put in your .muttrc

It was very useful, thanks!

Great! I gave a look at the documentation but I still haven't found a way to do it.
Could you pls help me to manage to do it?


Thanks in advance.


Best regards.

Re: GnuPG and saving outgoing mails

set pgp_encrypt_only_command="pgpewrap gpg --batch --quiet --no-verbose --output - --encrypt --textmode --armor --always-trust --encrypt-to 0xE052EA40 -- -r %r -- %f"
set pgp_encrypt_sign_command="pgpewrap gpg --passphrase-fd 0 --batch --quiet --no-verbose --textmode --output - --encrypt --sign %?a?-u %a? --armor --always-trust --encrypt-to 0xE052EA40 -- -r %r -- %f"

Only change 0xE052EA40 to your id.

Great tip!

Where did you find it?

Thanks very much! It does exactly what I wanted to do.

Somewhere... on the web... you know...

Google told me.
