[neomutt-users] GPG-setup: How to test without involving others?

Here's a very crude way to do it...

Create a temp mailbox: mkdir -p fake/{cur,new,tmp}
Create a fake sendmail script (fake.sh)

#!/bin/sh
cat > fake/cur/outgoing.eml

Run NeoMutt and set some config:

:set smtp_url="" sendmail="fake.sh"

Then compose and send an email.

To make this more useful, you could use mktemp(1) in the script to
create a random filename, and run a second NeoMutt watching the fake
mailbox.

Cheers,
