These features are also in 1.0.1. To "save encrypted emails"?
What do you means, exactly? Is it able to encrypt plain-email
from a mailbox to another, or no? I added that in Mu-Mutt. It save
your emails in encrypted form, disregardering the received form.

This is from the PGP User Guide II, written by the author,
Philip Zimmermann:

Feel free to disseminate the complete unmodified PGP package
as widely as possible, but be careful not to violate US export cotrols
if you live in the USA. Give it to all your friends.
====================================================================
So I will give it to muLinux friends
