[Pkg-mutt-maintainers] Bug#842207: mutt: Cannot decrypt PGP/GPG mails when logged in with ssh

Package: mutt
Version: 1.7.1-2
Severity: normal

Whenever I try to read my e-mail remotely using ssh I cannot read any mail, that
is encrypted using PGP/GPG. Working locally there are no problems and everything
works fine.

My configuration also worked several months ago. After it broke I could fix it
by replacing all calls to gpg with calls to gpg1. But for some time now it is
even not possible to read my mails using gpg1.

When I try to open an encrypted mail, mutt shows me the following two messages
in its bottom most line one after another:

    - Could not decrypt PGP message
	- Could not copy message

After I quit mutt I can see additionally the following message on the console:

    - GPGME: CMS protocol not available

I stripped down my mutt configuration and did verify that the problem also
occurs using this short one:

---------------------------------------------
set folder=imaps://imap.mailbox.org/
set from="mw at me-engineering-m2m.de"
set arrow_cursor
set editor="vim -c \"set textwidth=72\""
set realname="Matthias Peter Wimmer"
set record=imaps://imap.mailbox.org/Sent
set spoolfile="imaps://imap.mailbox.org/"
mailboxes imaps://imap.mailbox.org/

set imap_user='mw at me-engineering-m2m.de'
set imap_pass='********'     # removed in the bug report ;-)
set imap_idle=yes
set certificate_file=~/.muttcerts

set pgp_sign_as = CAECA12DCE2337A66DFD17B07AC7631D70D6C898
source ~/.mutt/gpg.rc
---------------------------------------------

~/.mutt/gpg.rc is a copy of the example configuration in
/usr/share/doc/mutt/examples/gpg.rc
It makes no difference whether I use a completely unchanged version of this file
or whether I add 'set pgp_use_gpg_agent=yes' to it.
