Well your key isn't being ascii armoured, for starters.  The other
tricky thing I found out is that you _must_ set pgp_strict_enc or your
GPG key will not verify.  It defaults to set, but naturally can be
overridden.  One sample muttrc out there overrides it to unset...

With GPG you'll want the sha1 micalg.
