Description Jonas Jakobsson 2004-06-19 00:57:40 UTC

pgp_timeout can not be larger than 32767. It is handy to have a larger timeout if for example you access your emailserver from a less secure computer and dont want the secret gpg-key to be useable on its own. The key in memory OTOH might be more secure for example if useing grsecurity to deny ptraces and such things.

Thanks for the suggestion.  Looks like a simple and good patch.  I applied it to mutt-1.5.6-r2 without bumping the revision since I don't think it will matter to a lot of people.
