This worked but raises more questions.

I verified that I could find gpg from the shell. In other words, it
was in my $PATH. I then fired up MailMate from an iTerm2 window—
and it still couldn't find gpg. However, the symlink in /usr/local/bin
did work. This suggests that either MailMate or something about
the application launch framework (I did 'open /Applications/MailMate.app')
is resetting the path. If the latter, perhaps there needs to be a hidden
preference for $PATH?

Probably, whatever method you're using to set your path (shell startup files?) is not making it through to Mailmate.

A couple minutes of searching doesn't show me how to set the environment on my actual login session.

If I were in your shoes I'd symlink gpg into /usr/local/bin; Mailmate will probably find it there.

When I receive signed messages, MailMate 5757 (on Big Sur) says "OpenPGP: Unable to locate the command (gpg) needed". However, it is there:

$ which gpg
/usr/local/MacGPG2/bin/gpg

I installed the gpgtools (this is a fresh installation of it and MailMate on a new laptop, though I copied over the MailMate directories from the previous laptop), though of course without support for Mail.app. What am I missing?
