[gentoo-user] mutt + gnupg

["Michael P. Soulier" <msoulier@digitaltorque.ca>]

Hello,

I've been using Mutt with GnuPG for years on various distributions. I recently
set up Gentoo, and I'm having some problems with the integration. 

Initially I couldn't get any of my encrypted files open, as gpg said it
couldn't find my secret key. I noticed the new gpg-agent material in the
documentation, and once I set that up, my basic gpg commands started working
again. I'm not sure why gpg-agent is required, maybe it fixes some other
configuration issue. 

Now I run gpg-agent in my .xsession, with the GPG_AGENT_INFO variable being
inherited by Mutt, but signing email doesn't work, as gpg says there's no
secret key available. 

Obviously something has changed in the latest version, and my configuration
just hasn't caught up yet. Does anyone else have this set up and working?

Thanks,
Mike
