New 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.
 >Fix:
 Unknown
