The display doesn't work at all (for me), and most of the time, I end up with a runaway process afterwards consuming all the CPU which I have to kill manually. I think pinentry-tty is the only pinentry program that works in all of the environments that I need it to. It might be possible to configure gpg-agent to use a local script as the pinentry program, and that script distinguishes between use in mutt and everything else (perhaps by setting an environment variable whenever mutt is launched), and then execs the preferred pinentry program for each environment. cheers, raf _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org https://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
