Re: Documenting gpg-agent

    the attached patch works around problems with the new version of pgg's
    use of pgg-agent.

When you say "pgg-agent", you mean "gpg-agent", right?

                       when the agent is active, passphrases passed in to
    pgg are effectively ignored, such that pgg-agent continues to prompt
    (via pinentry) for the passphrase.

That sounds like a bug in pgg or gpg-agent.  Passing in passphrases
from the caller may not be recommended use, but it shouldn't just stop
working.

Would the GPG people please respond to this?
