It simply because it Just Works (TM) with those 3 lines which I have in
my .emacs file:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; EasyPG Assistant
(with-eval-after-load "epa-file"
(setq epa-file-encrypt-to "j...@doe.com")
(setq epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption t))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Best regards,
Seb
