That is a possibility. You'd have to troll through the mutt source to confirm, though, I think. You'd have to have some idea of where to start looking, but I can't help you there. To confirm, you could create a new key (don't publish it) with an obviously fake identity and an alphanumeric phrase, and test with that. You can then remove it.
