Hi, I wrote a small patch, which makes it possible to use the GnuPG agent (which is part of gpg 1.9 and considered ready to use by Werner) with the GnuPG backend of pgg. I have done very little testing yet, but it seems to work fine.[0] To test it: set up your gpg-agent as usual and set pgg-gpg-use-agent to t. cheers sascha [0] I signed this Mail using it... ;-)
