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?
