Oops - my mistake.

I suppose, to restate what you said somewhat more clearly, if you 
compiled with pgp support but did not add configuration options to 
your muttrc telling mutt how to use gpg, then "PGP signature could NOT  
be verified." is the message you get when viewing a signed message.

However, if you are *viewing* an *encrypted* message (like he said), 
then you obviously have mutt configured at least somewhat correctly. 
My presumption would be that if you've gotten the pgp settings correct 
enough to view an encrypted message, you probably have the settings 
correct for verifying signatures, in which case seeing "PGP signature 
could NOT be verified." is definitely NOT normal.
