Encrypted email, mutt-to-mutt, gpg-to-pgp2?
I have a correspondent using PGP 2.6.3ia who doesn't trust "later
versions." (I also have another using PGP 5.0i who doesn't trust
"later versions" than that, but that's another issue.) Both of these
people are extremely privacy-minded individuals, but GPG being "new"
has triggered mistrust and I have not yet convinced them to spend the
time researching the specific algorithms' performance records yet.

My ~/.muttrc contains
set pgp_default_version="gpg"
which has worked fine for my needs so far.

I have added the following lines, for use with this person:
set pgp_v2="/usr/bin/gpg --rfc1991"
send-hook oldpgpuser@domain.tld 'set pgp_send_version=pgp2'
but upon the attempt to send/encrypt, I get
sh: /usr/bin/gpg --rfc1991: No such file or directory
cat: write error: Broken pipe
Press any key to continue...
which obviously is not what I intended.

Do I need to write a wrapper script for use with mutt-to-old-pgp-users?

I'm attempting to reach the point where pgp* can be rm'ed, so would prefer
a purely-gpg solution for communicating with PGP 2.x users using mutt.
Can this be done yet, or is the (relatively trivial) wrapper script the
only solution?

Am I overlooking something obvious?

(Btw, I have no problem understanding how to do this on the command line,
it's only how to implement it within ~/.muttrc that is less-than-intuitive
for me.) Somehow this list seems more appropriate than a mutt list however.
