Mutt hooks are great, altough very simple they are quite flexible for my needs. However, I hate writing them. I find it really boring.

So I came up with a “compiler” for mutt hooks, starting from a simple YAML file. You can find it on gist.github

It is made like this:

- domains: [your_university_doma.in, your_company_doma.in]
  from: 'Name Surname <my business email@gmail.com>'
- domains: [gmail.com, hotmail.*]
  from: 'sk4teNB33r <lulz@acideat.er>'
- addresses: [guy1@doma.in, some@one.else, dearly@belov.ed]
  from: 'oh another address <ano@th.er>'
- addresses: [paranoid@foo.zap, crypto@reb.el]
  from: 'secret address <hidden@na.me>'
  # Mails for these people will be encrypted and signed, for maximum security
  gpg: 'crypt sign'

and you can just run

python2 make_hooks.py hooks.yaml > hooks.mutt

Then in your muttrc you can add

send-hook . 'reset pgp_autoencrypt'
source hooks.mutt

and you’re done
