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, Werner
