Re: please explain purpose of pgp_decode_command/pgp_good_sign
Bad word. "Recognize" might be better. The point is that mutt
can't see from the outside the encryption envelope whether or not a
signature sits within; gpg returning "success" means "successfully
decrypted", and nothing more. If pgp_good_sign is set, though, mutt
can look at gpg's output and notice that gpg reports about a good
signature.
