Don't get me wrong I think it's a good idea but I also think that (from a basic interface perspective) there should be a way to turn it off. It's the equivalent of the "remember my selection" button that should be on any dialog that's not performing something mission-critical. —Sam -- Sam Whited pub 4096R/FB39BCF7EC2C9934 SamWhited.com s...@samwhited.com 404.492.6008 _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
