I believe gpgsm can help with > the key management issues you mention as well. The interface of gpgsm is very similar to gpg and thus it should be no problem to add support for it to pgg. Note however that gpgsm does not take a passphrase because private keys are entirely managed by the gpg-agent and thus gpg-agent will pop up a pinentry dialog as needed - gpg also support the gpg-agent. (There is a curses based pinentry available). Just ask me if you need help integrating gpgsm into Gnus; I know the gpgsm very well ;-). Shalom-Salam, Werner
