Glad you figured that bit out. Now that you mention, yeah, it does! Funny I missed it out. Since it mentions pinentry there, that's fine, no need to pull it in as a dependency. My bad. :) >> Later, I installed pine-pgp-filters. > > Always glad to have a new user, but you might have thought to cc this message > to the author/maintainer of that port. :) I know you subscribe to this list. Have seen a lot of your postings here, that's why I didn't copy you specifically. By posting to the list there'd be some info on this by way of archives and I'd get a reply from you anyways. :) BTW, I ask coz I don't know: as a matter of etiquette, is it a good idea to cc the author/ maintainer of the port even if he/ she is subscribed to the list? >> Now, whenever I send a mail and want to sign/ encrypt it and gnupg has to >> ask me for the passphrase, it messes my screen up!

Ok, so it is something like what I thought. >> For now the only workaround I've come up with is to install >> security/gnupg1. That does not require pinentry and so it works well with >> pine-pgp-filters. > > I think that's your only option. Hmm, ok. Thank you, Rakhesh
