I think there may still be one or two. I found one a few months back and submitted a patch, but since then I've run into a similar problem perhaps twice and haven't had time to find out where the problem was. I have used gpg-agent for a long time now and it hasn't caused me much trouble at all with mutt after that last small patch.

In a nutshell, GnuPG-2 is more modular and has support for S/MIME. But GnuPG-1.4 isn't going anywhere for a while. There wre a few threads on the gnupg-users list about this in the last month or three, though I can't seem to find any of the better messages from David Shaw or Werner Koch that answered this question in a quick search of my list archive. > Why gnupg2 is recommended for "desktop" use moreso than gnupg1? Perhaps due to better support for smart cards and such? But that's just a guess. I've stayed with GnuPG-1.4, as I have no need for S/MIME support. Hell, I spend most of my time in a terminal, so better "desktop" support also doesn't mean much to me. :) -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The trouble with being punctual is that nobody's there to appreciate it. -- Franklin P.
