Thanks for replying Robert.

This is what my conf file is showing for signing emails at the moment.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; auto-sign all mail
;;(add-hook 'gnus-message-setup-hook 'mml-secure-message-sign-pgp)
;;(add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'mml-secure-message-sign-pgp)
(setq mml-secure-openpgp-sign-with-sender t
  ;;    mml-secure-message-sign-pgp t
      mml-secure-smime-sign-with-sender t)
(setq epg-pinentry-mode 'ask)
  --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And just to check, I have 'pinentry-gnome3' installed, but I have just
installed all 'pinentry-*' packages.

So lets see what happens now then!?

Thanks
