I am trying to create an automated process to send PGP encrypted emails from linux. I have found that mutt does this pretty well, except during non-interactive mode. During interactive mode everything works great. Also note, I am only sending PGP encrypted emails, not signing or expecting to read emails as these are only system generated messages. With that in mind, their may be a better tool that I have not found. It does have to encrypt the body and any attachments.
This command works as expected and as needed, except that it is interactive, thus does not work in a script.
In .muttrc I set pgp_autoencrypt="yes", so I thought that would be all that is needed. All interactive emails default to Encrypt PGP. However, this will prompt the user to confirm information. I would like to automate the command with a script.
The message is sent correctly, but no GPG. Not sure if it is not reading the .muttrc, GPG does not work non-interactive, or missing something.
Mutt 1.5.18 (2008-05-17) on CentOS upgraded from Mutt 1.4.2.2i (2006-07-14) to see if that would help. No luck.
