If you want to encrypt your mail with your own public key as well as the recipient's public key,
you can do it as follows:
-
$ grep pgp_encrypt ~/[.muttrc]
+=
$ grep pgp_encrypt ~/[.muttrc]=
If you customized __pgp_encrypt_only_command__ or __pgp_encrypt_sign_command__, you just want to add to them.
If not, check here:
-
$ grep pgp_encrypt /etc/Muttrc
+=
$ grep pgp_encrypt /etc/Muttrc=
You will now need your key ID, which you can find as follows:
-
+<verbatim>
$ gpg --list-key your@email.address
pub 1024D/72A6205E 2003-07-20 Kevin George <kevin@... .net>
uid Kevin George <kevin@... .com>
- [
[...]
+ ~
[...]
+</verbatim>
The ID is the number after the first slash - 72A6205E in this case. Now edit the pgp_encrypt_only_command and pgp_encrypt_sign_command lines of your [.muttrc] (or add new ones based on the entries in /etc/Muttrc) to look like this:
(__Please do not copy these lines directly__ - base yours on your existing settings as they will likely differ from mine.)
-set pgp_encrypt_only_command="/usr/lib/mutt/pgpewrap /usr/bin/gpg --charset utf-8 --batch --quiet --no-verbose --output - --encrypt __--encrypt-to 72A6205E__ --textmode --armor --always-trust -- -r %r -- %f"%%%
-set pgp_encrypt_sign_command="/usr/lib/mutt/pgpewrap /usr/bin/gpg --charset utf-8 --passphrase-fd 0 --batch --quiet --no-verbose --textmode --output - --encrypt __--encrypt-to 72A6205E__ --sign %?a?-u %a? --armor --always-trust -- -r %r -- %f"%%%

The bold area is what you are adding. Be sure to add the "--" at the beginning of the first bold word. Dashes
may not appear bold in your font. You should now be set. Restart [mutt|Mutt] and try sending encrypted email to someone else, then try reading it in your sent-mail folder.

As an aside, you can also just add the following lines to your ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf file
+<pre>
default-key ABCD1234
encrypt-to ABCD1234
+</pre>
Replace ABCD1234 with your key ID as described above.
Beware though, that this change will encrypt everything to your own key, not just mails sent from mutt.
