It's not a valid .muttrc setting. What you need is:
source "/usr/local/src/mutt-1.2.5/contrib/pgp6.rc"
in your .muttrc
Aadjust path and version of pgp to suit, e.g.,
source "/usr/local/doc/mutt/samples/pgp2.rc"
The default setting in pgp6.rc is to encrypt to yourself (see below)
# create a pgp/mime encrypted attachment
set pgp_encrypt_only_command="pgp6 +compatible +verbose=0 +encrypttoself +batchmode
-aeft %r < %f"
But it is NOT the default in pgp2.rc
Be aware that ANYONE can see that the message is encrypted to you.
This is a security risk because it's easy to forget to unset the
"+encrypttoself" when sending a message intended to be anonymous.
