mutt with no arguments will make Mutt attempt
to read your spool mailbox. However, it is possible to read other
mailboxes and to send messages from the command line as well.

+\fBpgpewrap\fP [ \fBflags\fP ] \-\- \fBprefix\fP [ \fBrecipients\fP ]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This is a little C program which does some command line munging: The
+first argument is a command to be executed. When \fBpgpewrap\fP
+encounters a "\-\-" (dash\-dash) argument, it will interpret the next
+argument as a prefix which is put in front of all following
+arguments.
+
+.SH EXAMPLE
+
+ pgpewrap pgpe file \-\- \-r a b c
+
+will execute:
+
+ pgpe file -r a -r b -r c
+
+This script is needed with PGP 5 and with GPG, since their command
+line interfaces can't be properly served by mutt's format mechanism.

+.PP
+pgpring is a key ring dumper. It extracts information from PGP's
