Details

Description:
Upon trying to view a signed message in mutt's builtin pager
with "crypt_use_gpgme" enabled mutt crashes with "error creating
gpgme context: Not operational".

The issue is known upstream: http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3300
A working patch is available: http://dev.mutt.org/trac/raw-attachment/ticket/3300/mutt-1.5.21-gpgme-init.patch
But mutt didn't have a release in ages.

Therefore mutt should either be built without the broken gpgme
backend, or -- and this is what I prefer -- the backend should
be fixed with the short patch linked above.

Additional info:
gnupg 2.0.19-2
gpgme 1.3.1-4
mutt 1.5.21-7

Steps to reproduce:
Add "set crypt_use_gpgme = yes" to your muttrc and just open any
signed message in mutt's builtin pager.
This task depends upon

I strongly advise leaving crypt_use_gpgme to its default value of "no".
Regardless, since support for it is compiled in, I am all for applying maintenance patches to it.
