If you're only concerned about reading, that works fairly well by =
piping
the message through gpg from within mutt (I forget the hot key,=20
possibly "|"?)
Replying, however, is a pain in the nether regions.=20
=20

A workaround for this might be to use a pipe command in your editor =
while
editing the message.

Still, I as well would appreciate some hint on how to get mutt to=20
alternatively handle in-line PGP.
