I have just recently rewritten support for gnupg using the --status-fd and --command-fd options so that we get a more interactive gnupg session presented to the user.
This means that when you decrypt a message, we will be able to prompt for a specific key rather than just saying "Please enter your GnuPG passphrase" which I know a number of people complained about (they had multiple keys). Unfortunately, pgp5 and pgp6 do not support these interfaces and in fact make it a bloody pain to use them at all. I've just recently discovered that pgp6 in batch mode will prompt for the passphrase on stdout if the passphrase sent to it's passphrase fd is invalid. This causes Evolution to hang indefinetely and there is no easy way to fix this. My feelings are that since Network Associates is no longer supporting their pgp software and because it is such a royal pain to work with in Evolution, that it is probably better if we remove support for it. If you are dead-set on using pgp5 or pgp6 and refuse to use gnupg, you should speak up now or I am going to remove support for them in Evolution 1.1.x. I would also like to know why you won't use gnupg. Jeff -- Jeffrey Stedfast Evolution Hacker - Ximian, Inc.
