What's even more strange is your message appears to me in mutt as it does below; no gpg output or 's' in the status line. On the other hand, Alex Snow and Gregory's messages have a pgp header warning about being unable to open the key. Thanks for the tip on pgp.conf; haven't dug in there yet. Any how, your message appears different from the others. Not sure why. Thanks again for the additional info.
