Thanks! Alas, it didn't turn out to be quite this simple. I had to
invoke gpg-agent from my .bash_profile:
# start gpg-agent on login
gpg-agent --daemon --write-env-file "${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info"
And add the following to my .bashrc:
# gpg-agent is started in .bash_profile; this config should be read for
# every new shell
if [ -f "${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info" ]; then
. "${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info"
export GPG_AGENT_INFO
# don't need this unless using gpg-agent as ssh-agent
# export SSH_AUTH_SOCK
fi
export GPG_TTY=$(tty)
But now gpg-agent seems to be up, and accessible from mutt.
Thanks everyone for your help in this thread!
Best,
Richard
