I am not convinced that this is the best idea -- so far as I can see, if I were to set `pgg-gpg-use-agent' to `t' then I *must* use the agent. Is it not possible to enable gpg to try the agent first, then to prompt for a passphrase? Also, is it possible to automatically detect support for using the agent so that it isn't necessary to manually enable this -- once a new enough version is available, support is enabled? Obviously, automatically enabling this is only useful if the first issue is resolved. :) Daniel --=20 Digital Infrastructure Solutions -- making IT simple, stable and secure Phone: 0401 155 707 email: contact@digital-infrastructure.com.au --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEHJgbttyxN73O8xERAie1AJ4wyw+gJsQC79aunXTS5Ewf9nmm3ACeIFa9 EfShNrM4UCB3Kmxg3Uhxyx0= =MMD9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
