 I recently decided to try GnuPG after using only pgp2 off and on for

 while, that I realised that version 1.0.3 was very recent. I had got in
 right at the beginning of a new version. This new version incorporates
 RSA which I understand came out of copyright only in September.

PGP 2.x also uses the IDEA algorithm which is patented in some countries
(and therefore not included in GPG), so you will still need one plugin
for GPG to handle 2.x-compatible PGP-messages.

 I suffer this annoyance with Debian 2.1's mutt, which uses slang (mutt

 I seem to remember that there are reasons for some people to prefer
 slang rather than ncurses, so, is there any way of solving the problem
 while using slang?
 
 Presumably there is, because one person reported that they don't have
 the problem with "System: HP-UX B.10.20 [using slang 10202]".

This doesn't really answer the question, but I found that HP-UX curses
is pretty much unusable with mutt - you have to use slang on this
platform. 

That said I cannot reproduce the problem on Redhat Linux with slang,
Redhat Linux with ncurses or HP-UX with slang (various mutt versions
between 0.84 and 0.95.x). So I don't think it is a general ncurses/slang
issue. It might have something to do with the contents of the
termlib/termcap file.
