I also enjoyed some friction trying to use gnupg 2.1 with mutt, though I didn't get the "Could not copy message" error that you report. Instead I was seeing 'no secret key'. In my case, this was resolved by following the advice at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#Unattended_passphrase . Namely: echo allow-loopback-pinentry >> ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf and editing my copy of mutt's gpg.rc to add '--pinentry-mode loopback' to every gpg invocation involving a passphrase-fd. After that, things were back to normal for me. Hopefully this helps others avoid the same problem. ~crh
