# Generate keys with proper user
# $ gpg --gen-key
#
# Make proper directory with file:

#
# Put the following inside ~/.mutt/.passwd:
# set cock_pass="password"
# set gmail_pass="password"
#
# Encrypt with proper user:
# $ gpg -r USER1 -e ~/.mutt/.passwd
# $ shred ~/.mutt/.passwd
# $ rm -f ~/.mutt/.passwd
#
#---------------------------------------
# Process the password file first (the "|" pipes to Mutt)
