However, there are some ways around this, using either maildrop (which I use) or procmail, which will add some goop to the original email so that mutt will parse the PGP content without any additional keystrokes. Of course, it is up to the user whether or not they want to tamper with the content of the email. For those curious about mutt's position on PGP, please see the following document: http://www.mutt.org/doc/PGP-Notes.txt especially the first entry in the FAQ.
