[neomutt-users] Using pgpewrap with Nix-Install

I have in my config file:
set pgp_encrypt_only_command="/home/my_user/.nix-profile/libexec/neomutt/pgpewrap gpg (...)"

The useful part is .nix-profile/libexec/neomutt/pgpewrap, which you
should also have in your installation since it comes with the neomutt
derivation.
Hope it helps!

Kind regards,
