The subject line pretty much says it. As noted in bugs 787, 1025 and 1164, Mutt remembers incorrect PGP passwords up to the timeout value. It would be really nice either to correct that, or be able to manually purge the password. As it stands, if I mistype my password, I can't use PGP without either quitting and restarting or waiting for the timeout. Personally, I'd lobby for adding a force forget feature even if those bugs are resolved, just for the security benefit. Thanks, Eric P.S. I'm using mutt 1.5.4i from Debian unstable.
