There's a known bug which can make this appear even if you have not
enabled OpenPGP in the Security preferences pane. This might have been
triggered here too.
Thanks for this detail!
Indeed, I do *not* have ticked OpenPGP (on none of my computers).
Strange thing is, that it happens only on my laptop with High Sierra,
while on the iMac with El Capitan I do not get the warning.

brew lists a gpg2 formula as installable – is this save to use for
MailMate? Do I have to hint to MailMate somehow where the tool is
installed?
I believe it works, but currently you have to symlink the path
MailMate expects to find gpg2 (/usr/local/MacGPG2/bin/gpg2). Some day
I'll make this more flexible.
How about setting the hidden preference for the path like mentioned on
this list in 2015?:
```
defaults write com.freron.MailMate environmentVariables -array '{
enabled =
:true; name = "MM_GPG"; value = "/usr/local/bin/gpg2"; }'
```
