Since you have posted your question so many times you have my
interest.

First I don't use perl or mutt, but I have a web server and perl and
probably mutt installed on my machine.

I also have just now created a key (and installed GnuPG), so my
thoughts are related to the way my pgp works rather than gpg.

When I sign my mail (and I would imagine encryption works the same
way) it uses the header of the mail in the mime formatting. I have
some sort of bourne shell script that creates the mime message as
multipart/encrypted. This script was downloaded from the net some
time back, and could probably still be found if you are interested.

What this script does I believe is to modify a mime message to encrypt
it and/or sign it replacing the original. Then when it is completed
(I use emacs for mail), I read it in and send it on its way.

Is this something you are looking for?

I feel sorry but not responsible for my mail to appear in the
list so many times. It´s due to the following:

Date: Tue, 28 Sep 1999 21:37:00 +0200
From: "EMSMSM.EMSMSM(POSTMASTER)" <POSTMASTER@msmail.emswitch.net>
Subject: Mail failure
To: as@w4u.com
X-Mailer: Novell GroupWise 4.1

FROM: EMSMSM/EMSMSM/POSTMASTER
TO: as@w4u.com DATE: 09-28-99
TIME: 21:37
SUBJECT: Mail failure
----------------------------------------------------------------

[005] Mail retry count exceeded sending to:
3CORD /HILVERSUM

which returned my message as often as I sent it. So I know now to ignore that.

Yes, this sounds interesting. Where did you get it?

It seems it is something I am looking for. I need to try it out, really.
