I don't know what version you were previously using, but I'd guess it's

"Whatever reason" includes "I have no PGP settings". :-)

You can sign messages in plain-text, but still use PGP to verify the
signature. mutt will detect that kind of mail (if it has the right headers),
and automatically try to run PGP/gpg to check the signature.
(Usually I'd sign messages sent to the list, but in this case I'll skip it!)
Hope that helps..
