Hi Dallam, although I don't have a solution to your problem, I think that debugging will become easier if you uninstall unnecessary software like geheimnis and gpa. Mutt does not need them.
Have you made sure that your key is in the secret keyring, too? Try:
gpg --list-secret-keys
To me this does not look like a SuSE-specific issue. Have you tried to
encrypt and sign some files from the command line? If this causes
trouble too, please check your settings in "~/.gnupg/options". You
should have this:
# ---------------8<---------------------------
# If you have more than 1 secret key in your keyring, you may want
# to uncomment the following option and set your preferred keyid
default-key A89A2371
# ---------------8<---------------------------
You may also want to play with these settings:
# ---------------8<---------------------------
# If you do not pass a recipient to gpg, it will ask for one.
# Using this option you can encrypt to a default key. key validation
# will not be done in this case.
# The second form uses the default key as default recipient.
#default-recipient some-user-id
default-recipient-self
# ---------------8<---------------------------
See below ...

I am using SuSE, so I may have the empathy you need :-)

Should not be a problem.

I cannot think of anything.

This is all that came to my mind. I hope it calms you down :-)
By the way: I could not retrieve your key from my keyserver,
wwwkeys.de.pgp.net. I saw this line in your message:
X-PGP-Key: search.keyserver.net
... and found your key there (via web browser).
Obviously my server needs an update from your server. If you find the
time, you might want do this yourself by uploading your key to a
pgp.net server.
Cheers,
Cristian
