Does anyone know of where I can see up-to-date info on mutt/gpg?

I don't think I can do anything at all about inline PGP other than use
procmail to amend the emails as they come in.
Other than that is there any reason why it can't find public keys on my
keyring even though they are there?
When I try to encrypt an email I write it then use "p" to access the PGP
menu then "e" to encrypt. When I press "y" to confirm is where is messes
up.

I read something about it needing to see it in a colon-separated format
(gpg --list-keys --with-colons) instead of the standard format but this
may have been out-of-date info.

I'll try removing all the gpg.rc stuff and see if that solves any
problems.
Though in the mutt help "?" I can see references to attaching PGP keys
etc but not encrypting/decrypting. 
Perhaps this is because the menus are context-sensitive.
