Ok, thanks. (BTW, part of the problem is that when I get the X popup,
Emacs is in an unresponsive state. And I need Emacs to get the
password. So I need to run a second Emacs instance, or get the password
before calling Gnus.)
I tried pinentry.el from Gnu Elpa. What do I need to add exactly to
"~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf"? Just "allow-emacs-pinentry" as the package's
doc tells doesn't work.
I could figure it out myself I guess, but I decided to CC the author and
hope we can improve the package's doc instead.
Thanks,
Michael.
