enter a correct key ID ? :-)

naahh .. just kidding .. you probably hit the key that is bound to 
sign your message by pgp or gpg ... and mutt realy gets stuck in there
when e.g. it can't find the "pgp_list_secring_command". I had the same
problem. pgpring (one of mutt's utilities) was not in the PATH and 
mutt got stuck at that prompt.

i don't know if there's a way out of this prompt ... i didn't find
one neither.
