Re: Quest about SMIME and shell
Dear Phil
Thank you for your help.
We read the documents of mutt again.
Could we think if we successful configure the
"muttrc" file , mutt will auto add the smime when we
send the mail. And we find this
file:"http://dev.mutt.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/mutt/contrib/smime.rc?rev=3.6";
. Does it help for us to configure the smime in the
muttrc? Could we use this shell-command "cat smime.rc
>> /ect/Muttrc" to add it? If we use the mutt which
config file is default to use? "/ect/Muttrc" or
"~/.muttrc"
