So please tell me how to start a shell independend gpg-agent, as this is done usualy by eval `gpg-agent --daemon`. And within mutt pinentry doesn't work on vt's which is an important bug then. We have to create a script which exports GPG_AGENT_INFO. If the user changes the shell (maybe in screen or from X to vt) it has to be exported again unless there are dozend agents running? We need a file. Maybe in /var/tmp, which contains the variable and make sure it is read by every user loginshell. Hmm, $crypt_use_gpgme doesn't do that like reading the db dir for qdbm. > It is really useful. I agree, but there is no sense to use it within mutt. Did you asked the mutt-maintainers, why it isn't compiled by default with-gpgme? > It currently use mutt-ng with gpgme support, I hope I'll not repacage it > anymore :) The compile runs less than 2 minutes ;-) Elimar -- Learned men are the cisterns of knowledge, not the fountainheads ;-)
