This is an important point (using the API), because trying to use `gpg` in scripts is terribly difficult. I don't understand why `gpg` does not follow the unix philosophy of being easily used in scripts and cooperating easily with other commands. So, if there are some things to be improved on gpg, this is one of them: make it more scriptable. Alternatively, make a bash wrapper of Gpgme (which can be used on bash scripts). The other option (for EasyGnuPG) is to be reimplemented in Python or Ruby etc. (which have Gpgme wrappers and can use the API). Maybe someday somebody will do this, or maybe I will do it myself some day. But for the time being I have to stick to bash scripts and try to finish all the features that I had in mind when I started it. Dashamir
