It isn't a switch-to, it is optional. If your Mutt insists on S/MIME,
check your smime_is_default setting.

Thank you. Good to know,

I can no longer remember where "gpg.rc" came from.

Maybe you un-gzip'ed something like
/usr/share/doc/mutt/examples/gpg.rc.gz

Not in the past 4 years!

I now have on my box a special version of gpg, designed for use with the
S/MIME protocol:

| gpgsm (GnuPG) 1.9.15

Do you have _only_ that one? Not recommended, as you can see if you
invoke it without parameters:

You should also have the "normal" gpg.

I appear to have six versions of gpg on my Debian _stable_ box:

usr/bin/gpg
/usr/bin/gpg2
/usr/bin/gpg-agent
/usr/bin/gpgsm
/usr/bin/gpgv
/usr/bin/gpgv2

The updated version of gpg.rc (installed by Debian?) reflects the
existence of "gpg2" (also present but not recommended for use in stable
systems) but makes no mention of "gpgsm".

Debian doesn't install a gpg.rc file,

That is what I would have expected.

Hence its (commented-out) references to gpg2 are a mystery to me.

Given that everything still works when I invoke "gpg", the full
explanation of the mystery can wait.

Thank you for the interest and advice.
