Mutt -- Shellscript

Hello

Is there a better or easier way to send an gpg-encrypted e-mail
with mutt and a shellscript?

This solution works with an attached gpg-encrypted file.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~

#!/bin/sh

path=$(/bin/pwd)

mail=$(echo "Hello\n\nGreetings")

echo 'That is a test.' > "$path"/text.txt

gpg -e -r 'User' "$path"/text.txt

echo "$mail" | mutt -s 'Test' -a "text.txt.gpg" 'test@test.com'

rm text.*

exit 0

################################################## ############

But I'd like to have a shellscript for sending gpg-encrypted
e-mails with mutt without an attachment. I tested the...

set pgp_autoencrypt=yes

....option in the ~/.muttrc, but it didn't work...

Thanx for your help.

I found and tested this solution and it is working now very well:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

#!/bin/sh

path=$(/bin/pwd)

echo 'That is a test.' > "$path"/text.txt

gpg -e -a -o mail.txt -r 'User' "$path"/text.txt

mail=$(cat mail.txt)

echo "$mail" | mutt -s 'Test xy' 'test@test.com'

rm text.txt mail.txt

exit 0

################################################## ############

With the "-a option" in the line...

gpg -e -a -o mail.txt -r 'User' text.txt

....it is possible to create ASCII armored output and the "-o
option" writes the output to a file.

The result in the e-mail looks now like...

halifax@laptop:~$ cat mail.txt
