13 | AristotlePagaltzis | 1 | If you want to be able to read encrypted mail you have sent (in your sent-mail folder), you will have to encrypt outgoing mail with multiple keys, one of them being your own. At one point there was apparently a mutt option called <tt>pgp_encryptself</tt>, but it seems to no longer exist. |

13 | AristotlePagaltzis | 4 | To do that anyway, you will first need your key ID, which you can find as follows: |
12 | CraigBox | 5 | <verbatim> |
13 | AristotlePagaltzis | 6 | $ gpg --list-key your@email.address |
7 | pub 1024D/72A6205E 2003-07-20 Kevin George <kevin@... .net> | ||
8 | uid Kevin George <kevin@... .com> | ||
9 | [...] | ||
12 | CraigBox | 10 | </verbatim> |
10 | AristotlePagaltzis | 11 | |
13 | AristotlePagaltzis | 12 | The ID is the number after the first slash - 72A6205E in this case. |

13 | AristotlePagaltzis | 14 | The easiest way to do things is to just add the following lines to <tt>~/.gnupg/gpg.conf</tt>, replacing ABCD1234 with your key ID you found in the previous step: |
12 | CraigBox | 15 | <pre> |
11 | TomislavRenic | 16 | default-key ABCD1234 |
17 | encrypt-to ABCD1234 | ||
12 | CraigBox | 18 | </pre> |
11 | TomislavRenic | 19 | |
13 | AristotlePagaltzis | 20 | Beware though, that this change will encrypt everything to your own key, not just mails sent from [Mutt]. |
21 | |||
22 | If you want to encrypt only mail with your own public key as well as the recipient's public key, you need to customize the <tt>pgp_encrypt</tt> setting in your [.muttrc]. If you customized <tt>pgp_encrypt_only_command</tt> or <tt>pgp_encrypt_sign_command</tt>, you just want to add to them. If not, find them in <tt>/etc/Muttrc</tt>. | ||
23 | |||
24 | Now edit the <tt>pgp_encrypt_only_command</tt> and <tt>pgp_encrypt_sign_command</tt> lines of your [.muttrc] or add new ones based on the entries in <tt>/etc/Muttrc</tt>, and include an <tt>--encrypt-to ABCD1234</tt> parameter in both, where ABCD1234, again, is to be replaced by the key ID from your key. Restart [Mutt] and try sending encrypted email to someone else, then try reading it in your sent-mail folder. | ||
11 | TomislavRenic | 25 | |
13 | AristotlePagaltzis | 26 | After upgrades to [Mutt], make sure to check your <tt>/etc/Muttrc</tt> to see if any of the <tt>pgp_encrypt_X</tt> lines have changed. You should only edit the lines in [.muttrc] for that reason. Not making changes the central configuration also makes sense in case the system is (going to be) used by other users -- they will appreciate that their encrypted mail is not readable to you. ;-) |
