Are you doing that via $crypt_replysign or via some other method?  Are 
you replying to a PGP-signed message to an S/MIME message?  The behavior 
you are describing below is not normal, so I suspect something more is 
going on.

The compose menu will display this when $pgp_sign_as is unset.  In that 
case, Mutt will use the value in $pgp_default_key, or what is configured 
in your gpg.conf.  If neither of those are set, then I'm guessing this 
is the error returned by GPGME when it tries to sign with no key 
defined.

That's the part that makes no sense to me.  Simply unsetting and 
resetting "sign" will just display the value of $pgp_sign_as.  Did 
something else happen in your workflow?

Also, what version of Mutt are you using?
