I've add pgp_sign_as and it works now, thanks. The option is strangely
named for a encyrption option though. Wouldn't it be better named
$pgp_defaukt_key
I still woner how one can debug these problems within mutt (i.e. asking
it for more output how it interacts with gpg)?
Thanks a lot for your quick reply. Although the bug is gone now I wonder
how we could make this simpler to discover?
Cheers,
