Ah! You're right, I overlooked that one when looking through my muttrc 
(according to the documentation, crypt_verify_sig defaults to yes, so 
you wouldn't normally need to worry about it).

Heh, the documentation is a little misleading there. That variable is 
a quadoption, which means it has four valid values: "yes", "no", 
"ask-yes", and "ask-no". If you set it to "ask", it won't understand 
what you mean (and should probably print an error message when you 
start mutt... but chances are the error disappears too quickly for you 
to read it).
