I suspect that mutt is spawning gpg, which is then hanging waiting for
input at SDTIN. Have you included the gpg.rc file into your .muttrc, as
follows:

source ~/gpg.rc

The plain vanilla gpg.rc works just fine out of the box. I have since
added a few tweaks to it, but I don't think any of my tweaks were for
snything like this.
