For You don't have to. Do you explain your user own to send a mail ? to sign a mail ? The funtionality will be present for those who want to use it. If theyr really want, they need to find the right way to do it. > me I did not really understand the use of gpgme in relation to > mutt-ng. What are the advantages and how to use them? But maybe > somone can enlighten me ;) I hope I will :) I uses gnupg for: - signing/crypting mail messages - verify signature and decrypt mails - sign my packages (debian) - sign workflow files... There are at least 3 processes that uses gnupg so gpgme and gnupg-agent help to save time by providing one time my passphrase if it didn't timed out. It is really useful. It currently use mutt-ng with gpgme support, I hope I'll not repacage it anymore :) Cheers. -- Igor Genibel «Non bene pro toto libertas venditur auro» Freedom is not sold for all the gold in the world.
