No. This is what happened: In my gpg.conf "use-agent" was enabled,
but there was no agent. So, gpg issues a warning that there is no
Agent, decrypts and verifies everything just fine, and exits with
status 2. Then, pgg assumes a failure (although the *pgg-gpg-debug*
buffer contains success messages).
I've got a different problem now. Sometimes I can't decrypt mail
because pgg claims that my passphrase is incorrect. The
*pgg-gpg-debug* buffer also has corresponding error messages. I'm
pretty sure that I type in my passphrase correctly, though. The
prompt appears over and over again, and I'm having difficulties
escaping it. C-g doesn't help. (I'm typing an Umlaut then, which
leads to "error in process filter: Attempt to change byte length of
a string" and allows me to escape. Once, I even crashed Emacs with
repeated Umlauts and C-g's... Is there a better escape sequence?)
So for this only occurs with large (> 5.7 MB) encrypted attachments.
Manual decryption with gpg works just fine.
Any ideas?
