I'm a bit busy now though, EPG used to be released on 29th every month, fortunatelly there are only 28 days in this month, the next release is scheduled for 3/29 ;-) > Thus I wonder whether it is really justified to add such a feature to > gpg.

I'm now wondering whether to exclude unusable keys from the key list when Gnus calls EPG, or to make epg-encrypt-string accept "strings" instead of "epg-key objects" (if RECIPIENTS are strings, EPG won't resolve keys by itself). However, the latter idea might have an interface flaw since EPG may be compared to GPGME. Regards, -- Daiki Ueno
