I should have checked the news. It doesn't help me decide what to do though. Do you know if using the prompt in the minibuffer (using `loopback') is thought to be less secure than using the external pinentry program? > What version of GnuPG do you have on that system? Here `gpg' is GnuPG 1.4.22 and `gpg2' is GnuPG 2.2.3. N.
