=====
Also can't get it without using agent.
Tried using option of --no-use-agent and gpg2 says 'obsolete option, has no
effect'.
The option of --no-default-keyring doesn't help if the home directory is not
open.
Agent will not start unless home directory is open ( my home directory is in
an encrypted container)
Once the home directory is there (when I unencrypted mine), agent starts, and a
pinentry window opens asking for the symmetric passphrase,
When I unencrypt the home directory, but not the keyring,
gpg will still decrypt when using the option of --no-default-keyring
(feature request: can GPG2 be made to work from only the command-line without
a pine entry window, and without gpg-agent?)
TIA
