Thanks. I went one a side quest for a while, because your public key couldn’t be loaded. Somehow the Let’s Encrypted certificate for hkps://keys.openpgp.org wasn’t trusted. I switched to eu.pool.sks-keyservers.net, and now that part is working, at least.

To answer your question: yes, gpg-agent is running:

505 1633 1 0 11:15am ?? 0:00.30 gpg-agent --homedir /Users/hgd/.gnupg --use-standard-socket --daemon

The version that’s running is from MacGPG. I also have a separate installation from Homebrew, but that’s not being used. Perhaps we could compare configuration files?

gpg-agent.conf:

default-cache-ttl 300
max-cache-ttl 999999
#pinentry-program
allow-loopback-pinentry

gpg.conf:

armor
#openpgp
default-key haged...@spinfo.uni-koeln.de
encrypt-to 09C25485
force-mdc
#compress-algo 1
#no-secmem-warning
trust-model direct
#keyserver hkp://wwwkeys.de.pgp.net
keyserver-options include-subkeys no-include-revoked timeout=5
charset utf8
utf8-strings
group uk...@uni-koeln.de=4D105B45 C46E14A6

group BUDDY=
emit-version
auto-key-locate keyserver
auto-key-retrieve
use-agent
pinentry-mode loopback

To be honest, some of these options are 20 years old, and I don’t even remember what there were for :D

Cheers,
Sebastian

Possible, but IMO that’s not really a solution. Every other mail application I have used had a method for requesting and/or storing the passphrase. It’s also stored in my keychain. Can somebody confirm if that is expected behaviour with a protected key?

I use encrypted pgp keys whose passphrases are stored in keychain and it works completely transparently.

When I switched from Thunderbird to Mailmate it just worked out of the box. Have you configured gig-agent? Is it running?

What’s the output of `ps -ef | grep gpg-agent` ?

Cheers,

It would seems that your key I password protected and PGP is working in a batch mode not allowing it to request said pass.

Can you try with a non protected key (as a test to validate the above) ?

gpg: Sorry, we are in batchmode - can't get input

I have a suspicion that is caused by something in my gpg settings, but I don’t see anything obvious.
Ideas?
