This is a defect in icmenu.txt, since fixed.

Depends on your PGP version.

Actually, encryption is quite a bit improved in the latest CVS (I don't know
if it is in 4.7.5). All you have to do is set:

EncryptProgram pgp
EncryptKey     __ORDERS_TO__

It does automatic parameter handling for gpg, pgpe, and pgp. If you don't
set EncryptProgram, It autodetects your encryption program in that order,
preferring GPG and falling back to the other types. It automatically saves
errors to a file in ScratchDir (tmp).

Few blame themselves until they have exhausted all other possibilities.
