Hello Patrick, thanks for info ... you were right .. after delivering SIGHUP signal to gpg-agent process it indeed asks again for passphrase when enigmail attempts to use my key for signing but I don't how it works with decrypting keys .. after -HUPing gpg-agent I can still see the content of older encrypted emails without entering passphrase with enigmail info below (example - I've substituted domains by xxxxx/yyyyy resp.)
Decrypted message Note: The message is encrypted for the following User ID's / Keys: 0xA465836F77AD8DF8 (dpecka <[email protected]>), 0xA7C056435C18F835 (dpecka <[email protected]>) as I am writing this message now, just once I will hit send button, enigmail will ask me for passphrase for signing but I can view before I do so and before gpg-agent caches it the content of older encrypted emails .. is this expected behaviour ?
