Just a question: how do you plan to handle this pinentry?
The last time I gave gpg 2 a try, a crude GTK dialog appeared from
nowhere (disrupting my command line workflow). I just ran away,
screaming.
It seems there's a command-line pinentry these days. From Emacs,
my dream would be that it's Emacs which handles user interaction.
Have you any ideas?
thanks
