Which is what I've been doing for years.. and last night I could not get
it to work!

Well, that certainly was a kind thought .. and a smart idea. I'm not
sure what the issue was your end but I used this to test .. rather than
have to look around for a PGP signed message .. and I got mutt to
complain .. and hit 'p' and 'c' as in (c)lear from the PGP menu.
So I'm not sure what I was doing wrong last night .. or maybe the 'p'
key on this keyboard didn't work last night .. not sure why this
passphrase business got me mad all of a sudden..
:-)
Really appreciate your help .. and sorry about the noise.
