That's true.  However, I don't think the user has a ~/.authinfo.gpg
file.  :-)

auth-source won't create that file by default (when we get the gpg:
tokens implemented), so the only way for that file to exist is if the
user has created it explicitly.  And if the user has created it
explicitly, I think it's likely that the user has already opened it to
connect to an IMAP server or the like, so it's most likely already
decoded.

If it exists, which it won't.  :-)
