In my plain vanilla setup "p" in the compose window prints out "set
pgp_encrypt = yes" in the headers although that's not set in  ~/.muttrc.
No gpg/pgp menu appears at the bottom of the window.

Mutt -v shows "--enable-gpgme" but adding "set crypt_use_gpgme = yes" to
the ~/.muttrc file has no effect. 

Thanks for the effort. Any other ideas?
