>Description:
When attempting to send a mail encrypted "inline", if you type in the wrong pgp 
passphrase, mutt will ask if you would like to fall back to sending it via 
pgp-MIME. This is a silly question if all you did was type in the wrong 
password. Mutt should be able to tell that the passphrase was incorrect and it 
wasn't a case of pgp-inline being incapable of signing the mail. I think this 
is a bug and not a change request, but I may be wrong.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compose a text message, set it to be sent via pgp-inline, then type in the 
wrong passphrase.
