[gentoo-user] mutt, with USE="gpg", can't open a signed message

mutt couldn't handle the message from Klaus Ethgen, listed in menu as...

  Trying to open it gave following message in status line at bottom...

Could not copy message

  Google searching found other people with the same problem, only with
signed messages.  There was speculation about mutt and gpg not working
together well, but no solutions specified.  I came up with a rather
heavy-handed solution.

  I originally had the "gpg" USE flag enabled for mail-client/mutt in
package.use.  Setting "-gpg" for mutt, and rebuilding "solves the
problem", at the cost of removing gpg functionality.  Just a heads up in
case anybody else runs into the same problem.
