Not to give the impression I am talking to myself much these days,
but...
PGP 5.x appears to live in several executables, each specializing in
some part of the process. 'pgpk' one supposes, takes care of key
functions; other members of the crew are 'pgpv' and 'pgps' (there may be
more). My 'try' at a solution didn't amount to much.
Doing a bunch of browsing on the mutt home page helped lots. ("Kids, can
you say RTFM? I knew you could!")
Specifying pgp6 for use with the rpm binary in 1.0i doesn't do a heck of
a lot except generate error messages, I found.
Downloading mutt-1.0.1i, and then doing a straightforward
untar--config--make-install seems to straighten everything out just
right. Some functionality that appeared to have 'disappeared' from pgp
is now back, all is right with the world, and I can go back to sleep.
Cheers...
