Whats happening there exatly? When mutt asks for the keyID i just hit enter
and mutt lists all available keys so i can select the right one. Thats
how it should work. If mutt cant get the keys you should check if pgpring
and pgpewrap (see mutt-X.X.X/doc/PGP-Notes.txt) are available to mutt. (usually
in /usr/local/bin) They have to be in path!

Probably. Just for fun i searched the mutt manual for pgp 6 - guess what
no hit! But if the file is included it should work! Its not like we're
working with MicroJunk or something...

from pgp6.rc
