  You're right of course.  In your patch, I see you've used:

    mutt_error("Message can't be sent using inline PGP.");

  Since there's a prompt already, perhaps it's sufficient to use the
  already translated (and generic) "Mail not sent."  and as a message
  instead of an error since it's (supposed to be?) expected behaviour
  for those who play with the setting:

    mutt_message _("Mail not sent.");

    Yes, a much more apt name for the variable.

    Indeed, "no" was definitely a bad choice for the default.  I may have
    intended "yes" really (to match existing mutt behaviour), but "ask-yes"
    seems the best choice.
