Hi,
I suspect I just need a clue-stick pointer.
I've been a mutt user since the 1990s and really appreciate the
ongoing development of neomutt.
A recent laptop refresh resulted in me changing neomutt versions to
NeoMutt 20191207. This is a MacBook I used previously, and neomutt is
installed via homebrew. None of the compile options has changed, so
I'm assuming there's some code change that I'm not understanding.
I use two different accounts on two different servers. I have the
passphrases saved in a gpg-encrypted file. This is sourced in the
main .muttrc this way:
source "gpg -d ~/.mutt/.mutt-account-stuff.gpg |"
My gpg agent times out on files after 10 minutes. It used to be that,
once I had decrypted the file and connected to one of the accounts, I
could connect to the other too. It appears now, however, that if I
have connected to one account for more than 10 minutes, and try to
change accounts, I have to enter the passphrase. This is difficult,
because these passphrases are terribly long random strings :)
I figure there's probably something I need to understand in recent
changes to get this working the way they used to, and I'm wondering
whether there are pointers to where I should look in the docs.
Thanks, and thanks for the great work.
