# pgpewrap(1)

Mutt command line munging tool

## NAME

pgpewrap - Mutt command line munging tool

## SYNTAX

**pgpewrap** \[ **flags** \] -- **prefix** \[ **recipients** \]

## DESCRIPTION

This is a little C program which does some command line munging: The first argument is a command to be executed.  When **pgpewrap** encounters a "--" (dash-dash) argument, it will interpret the next argument as a prefix which is put in front of all following arguments.

## EXAMPLE

        pgpewrap pgpe file -- -r a b c

will execute:

        pgpe file -r a -r b -r c

This script is needed with PGP 5 and with GPG, since their command line interfaces can't be properly served by mutt's format mechanism.
