Does the private key _before_ the DSA/ElGamal have the same passphrase as the DSA/ElGamal key? Enigmail supplies the cached passprase from the last successful try to gpg. Gpg would then see that the passphrase is the right one, try to decrypt and advance to the next key if the message is not encrypted to your DSA/ElGamal key. > I am not aware of how to use the agent differently in this procedure, > and I would appreciate a link explaining it so that I can consider whether > another method might be more suitable to my needs. I might have misunderstood you. Do you use gpg2? This mandates the use of gpg-agent. Gpg-agent will cache the passphrase individually for each key and the above does not apply.
