You are correct I am sure, as I become more familiar with Mutt and
gnupg I suspect that I won't need these programs. I only use them
when I am to lazy to man mutt/ man gpg :)

yes, I have done that...and they are there.

I haven't done anything with ~/.gnugp/options except to add the
keyserver I am using there, and to add "no-secmem-warning". What you
say makes sense though and I will give it a try.
What I have found is this:
I made a copy of gpg.rc from /usr/share/doc/packages/mutt and put it
in /etc/Muttrc. I then removed all the "--comments ''" from the
settings. I sent myself a signed/encrypted mail and it seems to work
now. I have also sent to a few others and they reply that it is
encrypted as well, so it seems that I making some progress with it.
I can encrypt files and sign them from the command line ok, so this
problem seems to have been not knowing how to correctly configure
Muttrc for gnupg. Good learning experience :)

Will be glad to do that, thanks for telling me. I will try to do it
today, but wife is due home in a few minutes and my computing time
drops drastically once that happens.
Thanks,
