Move along, nothing to read

For the mutt users with GnuPG, depending on your configuration, you might notice that mutt's handling of GnuPG mail stopped working with GnuPG. There were a few specific cases that would have caused this, which I'll detail, but if you just want it to work again, put the below into your Muttrc, and make the tweak to gpg-agent.conf. The underlying cause for most if it is that secret key operations have moved to the agent, and many Mutt users used the agent-less mode, because Mutt handled the passphrase nicely on it's own.

• -u must now come BEFORE --cleansign
• Add allow-loopback-pinentry to gpg-agent.conf, and restart the agent
• The below config adds --pinentry-mode loopback before --passphrase-fd 0, so that GnuPG (and the agent) will accept it from Mutt still.
• --verbose is optional, depending what you're doing, you might find --no-verbose cleaner.
• --trust-model always is a personal preference for my Mutt mail usage, because I do try and curate my keyring
