Thanks.  Installed in v5-10 with some modifications:

2006-04-26  Reiner Steib  <Reiner.Steib@gmx.de>

	* pgg.texi (Caching passphrase): Fix markup and typos.  Simplify.

| @defvar pgg-gpg-use-agent
| When using GnuPG (gpg) as PGP scheme you can use @code{gpg-agent} for
| caching@footnote{Actually @code{gpg-agent} does not cache passphrases

| @end defvar

Is the second sentence in the footnote necessary?

Bye, Reiner.

I was uncertain my self, but I thought it might be a good idea to tell
the average user, that there is no need for him to worry about the
difference.  :-)

Never mind the second sentence -- what about `privat' instead of `private'
in the first one?

Already fixed in Gnus CVS.  (Will be synced to Emacs within a couple
