Dear list,
I've been using mu4e to read email, and the passwords are read using gpg2 and the gpg-agent (both 2.2.12). Nowadays I use emacs running in a terminal (somehow any graphical emacs keeps to freeze randomly when I use mu4e together with the org-capture feature; terminal emacs just works). Until recently I used to ssh -X to my box to read email (and used a graphical window to enter my passphrase), but now I would like to use mosh instead (so that hibernating and waking up my notebook does not interrupt the connection). But as mosh cannot be used for X forwarding, I need to use a non-graphical means of entering a passphrase to gpg-agent. On linux, I believe, there is a pinentry-tty program, but that one is not available on OpenBSD. Also I found mentions of pinentry-emacs. I tried to install the elpa pinentry package, added allow-emacs-pinentry to ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf, but whatever I tried, I don't see any sign that it ever does something. There is also a pinentry-ncurses program available on OpenBSD, but that one seems to not play well with my emacs; I see some prompt in emacs, but I cannot enter the needed information. Can anybody help me to get some way to enter a passphrase to be relayed to gpg-agent inside emacs running in a terminal? I am using emacs 26.3 on OpenBSD 6.6. Thanks for any comments! Rudolf Sykora
