The gpg.rc is the standard one that comes with 1.5.17.

I'm on Mac OS X 10.4.11.

If I recall correctly, this was a problem with very recent versions of 
gpg and inline encryption (and inline signatures). GnuPG is attempting 
to be extra picky, and they're going overboard. As best as I can tell, 
it's a gpg problem, because mutt's gpg code is extremely simple, and 
does exactly what the gpg developers seem to think it should.

GPG on MacOS X (10.4) gets made because it thinks mutt has closed one of its 
file descriptors. This is, of course, totally bogus, because not only 
does the same setup work fine on Linux, but it works fine for viewing 
messages (which uses the exact same code in mutt) but not replying.

It's possible that it's a MacOS X bug, though (it wouldn't be the 
first time OSX has demonstrated problems with certain sequences of 
syscalls).

There's a very simple workaround. I changed this line in my muttrc:

     set pgp_decode_command="~/.gpgwrapper.sh --status-fd=2 %?p?--passphrase-fd 0? --no-verbose --quiet --batch --output - %f"

Then, you make that ~/.gpgwrapper.sh script look like this:

     #!/bin/sh
     FDTWO=/tmp/gpg.$$.$RANDOM.2
     gpg "$@" 2>"$FDTWO"
     retval=$?
     cat "$FDTWO" >&2
     rm "$FDTWO"
     exit $retval

thank you very much, this works perfectly for me, too.
