Mail encryption with PGG works in message mode, which can be used independently from Gnus and has it's own manual, too. The message mode manual already refers to the PGG manual, so I don't think any addition is needed. But if you think we should urge the users more explicit to use gpg-agent, then the message mode manual would be the right place, IMHO. Ok, point taken. Would someone please install the gpg-agent directions there? It is important to give this advice explicitly _in_ the Emacs documentation (at the appropriate places), because this recommendation is for security purposes.
