Hi, I have recently installed new GnuPG public and private keys and
edited .muttrc appropriately.
However, when trying to mail from mutt I get
> gpg: NOTE: old default options file `/home/adam/.gnupg/options'
> ignored gpg: skipped "886EF91C": secret key not available gpg:
> signing failed: secret key not available
But ..

I created an 'options' file in both root and home accounts
but they are being ingored.

and

> pubring.gpg~ secring.gpg trustdb.gpg
If they are now obsolete, what has taken their place ?
I have been through this before, but can't remember how I fixed it.
What am I missing here ?
