These are the two instances I was referring to, been
that way a long time and mutt has never complained:

set pgp_encrypt_only_command="pgpewrap gpg --batch
--quiet --no-verbose --output - --encrypt --textmode
--armor --always-trust --encrypt-to 0x31577172 -- -r
%r -- %f"
set pgp_encrypt_sign_command="pgpewrap gpg
--passphrase-fd 0 --batch --quiet --no-verbose
--textmode --output - --encrypt --sign %?a?-u %a?
--armor --always-trust --encrypt-to 0x31577172 -- -r
%r -- %f"

So you say I should set the "--encrypt-to" in those
two instances to "%a?" and the "set pgp_sign_as=" to
"%?a?-u %a?" (quoted or unquoted?)...
Please confirm and I'll go ahead with it.

With my previous setup, then, I was erroneously
encrypting/signing with my public key?!?

Here is the whole of my pgp section... Please let me
know what else I messed up and should now change...

set pgp_decode_command="gpg %?p?--passphrase-fd 0?
--no-verbose --batch --output - %f"
set pgp_verify_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch
--output - --verify %s %f"
set pgp_decrypt_command="gpg --passphrase-fd 0
--no-verbose --batch --output - %f"
set pgp_sign_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch
--output - --passphrase-fd 0 --armor --detach-sign
--textmode %?a?-u %a? %f"
set pgp_clearsign_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch
--output - --passphrase-fd 0 --armor --textmode
--clearsign %?a?-u %a? %f"
set pgp_encrypt_only_command="pgpewrap gpg --batch
--quiet --no-verbose --output - --encrypt --textmode
--armor --always-trust --encrypt-to 0x31577172 -- -r
%r -- %f"
set pgp_encrypt_sign_command="pgpewrap gpg
--passphrase-fd 0 --batch --quiet --no-verbose
--textmode --output - --encrypt --sign %?a?-u %a?
--armor --always-trust --encrypt-to 0x31577172 -- -r
%r -- %f"
set pgp_import_command="gpg --no-verbose --import -v
%f"
set pgp_export_command="gpg --no-verbose --export
--armor %r"
set pgp_verify_key_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch
--fingerprint --check-sigs %r"
set pgp_list_pubring_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch
--with-colons --list-keys %r" 
set pgp_list_secring_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch
--with-colons --list-secret-keys %r" 
set pgp_autosign=yes   #Always attempt to  sign
outgoing messsage
set pgp_sign_as=0x31577172
#set pgp_autoencrypt=no  #Always attempt to  PGP/MIME
encrypt outgoing message
##########################################set
pgp_encryptself=yes 
#set pgp_replysign=yes   #Sign replies to messages
which are signed
set pgp_replyencrypt=yes  #Encrypt replies to messages
which are encrypted
set pgp_replysignencrypted=yes #Sign replies to
messages which are encrypted
set pgp_verify_sig=yes
set pgp_timeout=1800  #Seconds after which a cached
passphrase expires if not used
#set pgp_strict_enc=yes  #Encode PGP/MIME signed
messages as quoted-printable

Thank you again very much for your kind help.
