[Pkg-mutt-maintainers] Bug#837673: mutt: PGP prompt message is confusing on de_DE.UTF-8 locale

[Dmitry Shachnev]

Package: mutt
Version: 1.7.0-4

When I press (p) to open the PGP menu, the following message appears:

PGP (e)ncrypt, (s)ign, sign (a)s, (b)oth, s/(m)ime or (c)lear?

However, that message is confusing. I found out that it actually listens
to the keys matching the German words for these actions:

(c)lear does not work, however (k)ein PGP works
(e)ncrypt does not work, however (v)erschlüsseln works

I was also able to find the German help message in Mutt source in po/de.po,
which makes me wonder why it is not displayed.

"PGP (v)erschl., (s)ign., sign. (a)ls, (b)eides, %s, (k)ein PGP? "

I believe this regression was introduced in version 1.7.0-2. In previous
versions, the message was in English, and keys matching English names worked
fine. I.e. I was able to use (p)-(c) sequence to disable signing.
