This works but it is inconvenient since you have to fiddle with

Thanks for this but: it does *not work*.
I just bound it to Win+F1 for testing:
this «Toogle mute» only switches the
master but not the speaker, so it does the same as does Fn-F1

The script works, nicely

does that mean Ubuntu included?
Would you mind telling me the ppa?
Thanks again

PS I signed this message, since you did the same, some people do
complain, though
Thats because the key issuer is some sort of all caps, 3 line
swahili we never heard of before. All of a sudden we're getting
popups from pientry-gnome3 asking us to swear that this key signer
is legit. How theheck are wwe to know?
And it doesn't copy-paste, blocks all other input while its present
on screen. Being the paranoid old fart I am, I am not about to
click ok on such a mystery message. click on close or cancel changes
the main, yellow kmail warning to click this for details, I click
and it then says no details available. Is there a switch to shut
this stuff off?
I have a filter for kmail that handles anoying stuff. Signed mails are
not in this group for me, so it's missing this feature ... but feel
free to extend it :)
