Caching passphrases

I'm not sure if this is an EPG issue or a Gnus issue or soemthing else,
but I encounter it in gnus so... :-)

Everytime I send mail, I'm asked for my passphrase in order to sign the
message. But I've noticed that if I have a couple of draft messages and
I send them in rapid succession, I'm not asked for the second message.

This suggests that *someone* is remembering my passphrase for a few
seconds (or perhaps it suggests some deeper issue, I suppose).

Anyway, I'd be perfectly content to trade a little security for a
little convenience. Is there any way I can tell EPG/Gnus to remember
my passphrase for some longer period of time?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
