Usage

You will use local files to override the ones provided by this package. Few options must be set.

The file ~/.muttrc-credentials.local will set some variables that will be used by other configuration files sourced later:

set pgp_default_key = "0x1234567890ABCDEF"
set pgp_sign_as     = "0x1234567890ABCDEF"
set my_name         = "Bilbo Baggins"
set my_user         = "bilbo"
set my_server       = "shire.org"
set my_pass         = "mypassword"

You can define aliases in ~/.muttrc-aliases.local.

If you want to override any option, put the settings in ~/.muttrc.local, as this is the last file to be sourced. You might want to put for example, subscribed lists in this file:

lists .*@googlegroups\\.com
subscribe qubes-(announce|devel)@googlegroups\\.com
fcc-save-hook qubes-announce@googlegroups\\.com =list/qubes-announce/
fcc-save-hook qubes-devel@googlegroups\\.com =list/qubes-devel/

If you want to have your e-mail signature (not PGP) at the end of every mail you send, place it in ~/.signature.
