I'm trying to get gpg-agent to work with mutt, with very little success. I
start up the agent in ~/.xinitrc:
eval `/usr/local/bin/gpg-agent --daemon -s`
Have gnupg configured to use the agent in .gnupg/gpg.conf:
use-agent
And use what seems to be a pretty standard agent configuration:
pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-qt
no-grab
default-cache-ttl 1800
The problem is that GnuPG doesn't seem to want to actually /use/ the agent.
When I try to sign something, pinentry-qt launches, I enter my passphrase,
and the file is successfully signed. Every time. There's no passphrase
caching (which is what gpg-agent does, correct?). The only thing that might
be weird is that my signing key is actually a /secondary/ key, but I
wouldn't have thought that would cause issues.
gpg throws no errors. Nothing about gpg-agent not being available. It just
plain doesn't seem to want to work for me, nor tell me why:
% gpg -v -as test.txt=20
gpg: using secondary key 9C22B029 instead of primary key C2889CC9
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Damian Gerow <dgerow@afflictions.org>"
gpg: using secondary key 9C22B029 instead of primary key C2889CC9
1024-bit DSA key, ID 9C22B029, created 2004-04-10 (main key ID C2889CC9)
gpg: writing to `test.txt.asc'
gpg: DSA/SHA1 signature from: "9C22B029 Damian Gerow
<dgerow@afflictions.org>"

Any help? Please Cc: me, as I'm not on the list...
