I believe that some MUAs can automate the process, signing all mails
using either a key with no passpthrase (a very bad idea), reading the
passphrase from a file (almost as bad) or having the user enter the
passphrase and then cacheing it.
The Enigmail plugin for Thunderbird can do that. I don't know what other MUAs
support it.
Are there any other mua's besides mutt?? :)
Yes, mutt also supports automatic signing and encryption, using a cached
passphrase which the user has to enter the first time after invocation a mail
is send and after a configurable amount of expire time.
