Subject: Re: why is "q" bound to `delete-window' instead of `quit-window' in epa-info-mode?

It is probably for security reasons, epa-info-mode is for displaying
decrypted texts, so basically one shouldn't leak that info to the
others by quit-window and leave the buffer containing sensitively
information to the others. Although I understand that it might be
unnecessary to those have sole access to their computer, and neither
delete-window is safe proof to more advance attacks.
