Why this exists

So my friends can send me encrypted mail, bottom post, and send/apply
patches.

> "I installed neomutt but I haven't figured it out"

Neomutt defaults have legacy lock-in issues.

Barebones neomutt config

Features

  • optional PGP encryption/signing/both

  • Automatic PGP decryption

  • hjkl movement: navigate

  • n/p movement: read+page mails like in the GNUs client

  • open HTML mail in the $BROWSER with a bind

  • edit mail in the $EDITOR

  • Can setup multiple mailboxes (just source more files like me-TEMPLATE)

  • arcane-config-TEMPLATE to keep user-specific config separate

  • Lots of colors

  • A million default setting changes that don't do much

  • signature

Subjective User Experience

Like this

Install

  • clone to ~/.config/neomutt

  • install neomutt

  • install isync and sendmail for IMAP and SMTP

  • install notmuch to search your mails

  • install gpg (optional)

  • Edit and rename the TEMPLATE files

  • Edit the sources at the top of the neomuttrc to fit your needs

Good alias to do background mail stuff when opening the client

TODO

  • Automatic WKD for automatic PGP encryption without manually adding keys
