If it should go to the Message mode manual (I'm not sure about this,
because AFAIK allout.el also uses gpg-agent), we should install it in
(info "(message)Security").  But this node is already quite long, so I

welcome).  I've added the new text in the node "Using PGP/MIME".

Shouldn't this read @file{.profile}?
