The part of his question I replied to, is the part that doesn't
require a patch for mutt, if I'm correct. I believe my reply is
valid; if you want to hide GnuPG output, then don't verify.

This requires a patch. Or a nifty $display_filter setting.

Personally, I don't like keyrings with hundreds of keys. So I don't
use the auto-key-retrieve option of gpg.

If a post to, let's say, mutt-users is signed (like mine are), I
usually don't feel the direct need to verify the signature (exactly
_what_ would be the benefit of this?). If I _want_ to, I can (by
retrieving the key and playing around with $pgp_verify_sig).
