The solution was worked out on another list, here's a posting:

I'm running exmh-2.7.2 on FreeBSD-6.2

After cd /usr/ports/mail/exmh2 ; make extract
ie at architercture neutral level before any customising
for FreeBSD specific as in 'make patch' called by macros
of 'make all'
There are just 2 q-client strings:
lib/extrasInit.tcl:
{pgp(getextcmd) pgpGetExtCmd {/usr/bin/q-client get %s} {Method to query external passphrase cache}
lib/extrasInit.tcl:
{pgp(delextcmd) pgpDelExtCmd {/usr/bin/q-client delete %s} {Method to invalidate external passphrase cache}
& no more q-client dtrings after make patch.
I would guess Exmh is missing some "q-client put" calls to
load the socket the first time the passphrase is typed in gor gpg -d ?

Thanks, Yes I'd tried that before, but it had locked up,
When I changed pgpKeepPass to 1, & then clicked in body on " Decrypt
and verify with GnuPG" the display reduced from:
This is a GnuPG signed and encrypted message
Decrypt and verify with GnuPG
This is a application/pgp
It might be displayable with metamail. (Invoke menu with right button.)
charset = US-ASCII
format = text
To just:
PGP execution produced no messages.
Now I realise the code needs extending to use eg "q-client put",
I must abandon external till then, so I have also set
Use external passphrase cache Off.
& now all works.
Valdis,
If you fancy adding some TCL to call q-client put to load the values
sometime, I can be a tester (though busy next few days).
Thanks all for you advice.
(BTW off topic I believe gpg-agent worked with claws-mail to load passphrases,
but I got stuck with other problems there, so reverted to exmh :-)
