[Techtalk] PGP signing mail

Here's an example from my home .muttrc...

# as default, sign all email:
send-hook . set pgp_autosign
# do not sign email to certain friend
send-hook elaine set nopgp_autosign
# end send-hooks

To do the reverse, as you would like (default to not signing mail,
and only signing mail to specified recipients) just swap the "set"
commands. Just make sure (as for any *-hook directive) to set a
default rule first.
