Autocrypt Dialog

Introduction – Where am I?

The Autocrypt Dialog manages the local accounts NeoMutt uses for Autocrypt. Autocrypt is an opportunistic email-encryption standard that exchanges public keys automatically in message headers. This dialog is where you review which addresses participate and how strongly they prefer encryption.

What am I looking at?

• Each row shows an Autocrypt account email address, its encryption preference, and whether the account is active.

• The highlighted row is the account that will be toggled or deleted.

• The status line keeps the focus on account management rather than message reading.

What can I do?

• Create a new Autocrypt account.

• Toggle whether the current account is active.

• Toggle the account’s prefer-encrypt setting.

• Delete accounts that are no longer needed.

Where can I go next?

• q returns to the Index Dialog.

• The effect of your changes is usually seen later in the Compose Dialog when sending mail.

Where did I come from?

• You normally arrive from the Index Dialog via <autocrypt-acct-menu>.

• Some Autocrypt-related compose workflows start in Compose Dialog, but account management itself lives here.

How do I configure this?

• Start with Autocrypt Config, Encryption Config, and Send Config.

• Common options include $autocrypt, $autocrypt_acct_format, $autocrypt_dir, and $autocrypt_reply.

• Per-account or per-message behavior can also be influenced with generic commands such as :set, :send-hook, and :crypt-hook.

• Colours come from Colour Objects, especially indicator, status, message, and normal.
