Depends on where homebrew installs gpg2 (I haven't tried homebrew 
myself).

You might be right.

Me too, but even though I've implemented support for OpenPGP via `gpg2` 
I don't really have much experience with the types of problems which may 
be the result of non-standard setups.

You can enable some related debug output from MailMate like this:

	defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDebugSecurity -bool YES

Then launch MailMate from the Terminal to see the output when MailMate 
tries to sign a message:

	/Applications/MailMate.app/Contents/MacOS/MailMate

Most importantly, MailMate outputs the `gpg2` command with arguments. 
Based on that you might be able to reproduce the problem in a Terminal 
window without using MailMate.
