Interesting... I've never set the pgp_autoencrypt variable in mutt, but
I guess it should work roughly that way... no key, no encryption ... makes
sense, right?  I mean, if it's meant to call gnupg for encryption of
every outgoing mail, it should do it providing the public key of the
recipient is in your keyring, else, it shouldn't encrypt (how would
it?).

Besides, it's always possible to resort to hooks with mutt.  Therfore:

mutt does indeed.  Other than that, there's the pgp_replyencrypt (and
pgp_replysign) variable, so that answering to an encrypted (or signed)
incoming mail will result in an encrypted (or signed) outcoming mail.

There was another variable... pgp_replysignencrypted, but I believe that
one's broken.


HTH,
