Oops, sorry.  It seems that I sent the reply with a wrong From: address.
I often manually rewrite it when sending, to select SMTP server.

>From the output of M-x epa-list-keys, it looks like you have two keys
set up (one is DSA used for signing and one is ElGamal used for
encryption):

 - Richard Stallman (Chief GNUisance) <rms@gnu.org>
 - 624DC565135EA668 1024bits DSA
        Created: 2001-03-05
        Capabilities: sign certify authentication
        Fingerprint: 6F818B215E159EF3FA26B0BE624DC565135EA668
 - 879A7C37B1B10ED6 1024bits ELGAMAL_E
        Created: 2001-03-05
        Capabilities: encrypt
        Fingerprint: 04C26DD3834A1AB3A3CAB2D4879A7C37B1B10ED6

So you probably need to let gpg-agent remember both.

#!/bin/sh

eval `gpg-agent --daemon`
gpg --use-agent --output /dev/null --sign /dev/null > /dev/null
gpg -r -B1B10ED6 -encrypt < /dev/null | gpg --use-agent --output /dev/null > 
/dev/null

emacs -f normal-start
