I just completed the installation of the aegypten-related tools and libs on=
 a=20
debian woody (3.0) system. Everything was installed into /usr/local/aegypte=
n.=20
mutts was built and installed into /usr/local/.=20

The gpg-agent is configured and running:

> ps aux | grep gpg-agent
jason    17165  0.0  0.0  1984  664 ?        S    14:32   0:00=20
/usr/local/aegypten/bin/gpg-agent --daemon

I can successfully list all keys with the gpg command taken from my existin=
g=20
(and fully working) .muttrc.gpg file when gpg-agent is running:

>  gpg --no-verbose --quiet --batch --with-colons --list-keys
/home/jason/.gnupg/pubring.gpg

I completed the configuration changes for the ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf and=20
gpg.conf (use-agent) files. On the other two Gentoo linux machines where I=
=20
have installed aegytpen for use with kmail, everything is working correctly=
=20
and is configured identically as far as I can tell.

My first test of the installation was to send a signed and encrypted messag=
e=20
to myself. I started 'mutts', addressed a message to 'jason@buberel.org'. O=
n=20
the mutts send page, I pressed 'p' for pgp, then selected 'b' to both=20
sign+encrypt.

I then pressed 'y' to send the message, and I was asked at the bottom of th=
e=20
screen:

Enter keyID for jason@buberel.org:

I first tried to enter my traditional public gpg key Id 0x1E700D29. I press=
ed=20
enter, and the following message was briefly displayed:

Looking for keys matching ""

I was then asked to enter the keyId for jason@buberel.org. I was never able=
 to=20
specify the keyId in a form that was acceptable to mutts. (I tried to use t=
he=20
full keyId from the --list-keys output above, 716CA3DC1E700D29, and that=20
didn't work either).

Are there mutt configuration variables specific to mutts that are required =
in=20
order for key lookups to work correctly?

Any pointers appreciated. I will write-up a HOWTO once I get everything=20
working.

Thanks,
jason
