For several years I am now using gpg-agent to manage passphrases and
caching.  The drawback with Gnus is that I still need to tweak the
passphrase providing and caching mechanism because its is useless and
actually dangerous to have when using gpg-agent.

I'd really appreciate if someone could add an option to disable the
passphrase stuff manually or automatically.

Using gpg-agent is now pretty simple as it has made its way into
Debian (apt-get install gnupg-agent).


Shalom-Salam,
