Um, you probably have PGP setup on your Mutt.  By default, Mutt will try
to sign replies to signed messages.  (I sign all my outgoing mail, since
I don't appreciate it when people send SPAM/viruses claiming to be me.)
You can use the PGP menu (bound by default to 'p' in the send menu),
to change the PGP options for a given mail.  (You can RTFM if you'd like
to disable the default behavior entirely.)

Ah, Mutt has a native concept of mailing lists.  You can use the
list-reply function (bound by default to 'l' IIRC) to reply to the
mailing list (and I'll get my copy from the list, of course); you just
need to do something like "subscribe mutt-users@xxxxxxxx" in your muttrc.

You should probably start going through the reference section of the
manual.  You'll quickly find that Mutt can do much more than you ever
dreamed of with Pine.

Happy Muttin',
