Thanks for this detail!

Indeed, I do *not* have ticked OpenPGP (on none of my computers). 
Strange thing is, that it happens only on my laptop with High Sierra, 
while on the iMac with El Capitan I do not get the warning.

How about setting the hidden preference for the path like mentioned on 
this list in 2015?:

```
defaults write com.freron.MailMate environmentVariables -array '{ 
enabled =
:true;  name = "MM_GPG"; value = "/usr/local/bin/gpg2"; }'
```
