This confirms my guess. If it thought it were running pgp5, it
wouldn't be trying to run pgp without and "e", "s", "v", or "k" on the
end.

Loads of output is good!!! This is the k
/pgp, /usr/bin/pgps, /usr/bin/pgpe,
/usr/bin/pgpk, /usr/bin/pgpv). What you want to tell mutt is:
set pgp_v5=/usr/bin/pgp
set pgp_v2=/usr/bin/pgp2 # if you want to still use it
mutt is taking the file that you give it and tacking on an "s", "e",
or whatever it needs.
Can emacs do color when in "terminal mode" like mutt, ls, dselect,
etc. can? I've become addicted to font-lock-mode and I'd like to do
something similar even when I have to use it windowless (or in an
xterm, anyway).
