Perhaps there should be more > information on that screen. This is what the user is faced with: ---- Select recipents for encryption. If no one is selected, symmetric encryption will be performed. - `m' to mark a key on the line - `u' to unmark a key on the line [Cancel][OK] e ---- And this is for storing a ~/.authinfo.gpg file. If there's one thing the user don't want to do, it's "select recipient for encryption". And how many users know what "symmetric encryption" is anyway? When writing the ~/.authinfo.gpg file, the user should be queried one thing: "Password for ~/.authinfo.gpg: ****". And that's it, in my extremely humble opinion. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
