Sadly that is not what I see. I'm trying to read an email that mutt reports as 
PGP/MIME but the content appear blank. I guess I have gpg-agent properly 
working, because when I send a signed email I get a 'window' asking me for my 
passphrase and it signs it. But it don't asks for the password when I try to 
read an encrypted email.

Do I need any special configuration on gpg-agent for it?
