## Mutt

Mutt has both CLI and TUI interfaces, and the latter provides powerful functions for daily email processing. In addition, PGP can be integrated such that signing/encryption/verifying/decryption can be done without leaving TUI.

To enable GnuPG support, one can just use the config file `gpg.rc` provided by mutt, usually located at `/usr/share/doc/mutt/samples/gpg.rc` after installation. One only needs to edit the file on options like `pgp_default_key`, `pgp_sign_as` and `pgp_autosign`. After editting one can `source` this rcfile in their main `muttrc` to use it.

Note that if one uses `pinentry-tty` as one's pinentry program in `gpg-agent.conf`, it would mess with one's Mutt TUI, as reported. This is because Mutt TUI uses curses while tty output may harm the format. It is recommended to use `pinentry-curses` or other graphic pinentry program.

# Reset

If PIN attempts are exceeded, the card is locked and must be [reset](https://developers.yubico.com/ykneo-openpgp/ResetApplet.html) and set up again using the encrypted backup.
