Correction: Mutt does pass the PGP query to the user, but a "y"
response apparently does not get passed back to PGP.
BTW, pgp6.rc has "+encrypttoself". pgp2rc does not. IMO,
encrypttoself is a security risk because it's extremely easy to
forget to turn it off when sending anonymously. And, most users of
prior versions of PGP would not expect the default behavior of Mutt
to have changed without warning.
