Subject: pgg*.el and passphrase caching
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2003 11:02:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <gegg.m3lltqnhot.fsf@beldin.gothgoose.net> (raw)

Hallo,

I want to switch from gpg.el to pgg.el.  I encounterd the problem, that
passphrase caching doesn't work as I would expect.  I try to describe
what happens:

I have 3 mails:

-  msg 1 from A
-  msg 2 my answer to 1
-  msg 3 A's answer to 2 

If I want to (re)view msg 1 pgg.el asks me to enter the passphrase for
A's key-ID.  When I enter my passphrase the message gets decrypted and
the passphrase is cached so I can view msg 2 without reentering the
passphrase.  When I now want to view message 3 pgg again asks me for A's
passphrase so I have to reenter mine.

I *think* the problem is, that all messages also are "encrypted to self"
and pgg.el wants to take the first Key-ID it finds (and this is the one
of the originator of the mail).

Is there a way to say: "Always take one of my Key-IDs"?  And then
decrypt the messages with the cached phrase? 

I don't know if it's a gpg problem or a pgg one.

Bye

	 Mark
