Hey there,

I currently use gnupg 1 from within Alpine (running under screen), and it works okay, but I had a bear of a time using gpg2 because of the pinentry stuff. Specifically, gpg was launched within a mail filter, and had no idea how to spawn a third program (the pinentry window)) in a correct way. I've tried kludging it so it launches in a different screen by tweaking various environment variables, but this seems the wrong way to go about it. As does running with X-forwarding just to launch a tiny pinentry app (I can't guarantee I'll have an xserv everywhere I sit.)

Is there some reasonable way that gpg can detect that it has a controlling termainal (or even, a config file option) and just ask me for my passphrase on stdin?

I am my sysadmin.  I trust me :)
