ok, i just played with pgp-hooks in mutt. as usual when experimenting
with pgp and mutt, i've enlisted our test admin paul jakma and our
emergency backup test admin, liam bedford[0]. sadly however i never
got past paul since there were too many errors (obviously on my side
as usual).
so this is the command mutt uses to list keys:
gpg --no-verbose --batch --with-colons --list-keys %r
and this is the pgp-hook i have set:
pgp-hook paulj at domain (itg\.ie|alphyra\.(ie|com)) 26034AA9
mutt asks if it should use key 26034AA9 and then it decides to make me
pick the key from the normal list. only after selecting a key that way
does it work. this is the sequence of commands:
gpg --no-verbose --batch --with-colons --list-keys 26034AA9
gpg --recv-keys paulj at domain alphyra.ie
gpg --no-verbose --batch --with-colons --list-keys paulj at domain alphyra Paul Jakma
this is what the latter command (which is used to build the list) produces:
pub:f:1024:17:D86BF79464A2FF6A:1998-10-21::64:f:Paul Jakma <paul at domain clubi.ie>::scESC:

the first set of keys can be dismissed. the annoying thing is that
the list is as long as the number of uid lines times the number of
pub/sub lines for each key. i changed the list command to spit out
various versions of the above. once i did that it selected correctly
the first time:
pub:f:4096:20:F960636AB35EAE31:2000-07-26:2004-07-11:72:f:Paul Jakma <paulj at domain alphyra.ie>::esc:
which merges the pub:f:1024 line with the sub:f:4096 line. now,
newer versions of mutt apparently have this solved. is this true?
and is anyone using mutt and pgp-hooks just fine? how are your pgp_
commands set?
