Well, it was not okay for me.  pass(1) failed to work after that.  Thanks gods, 
I revise my configs with git, so it was just two commands to find out the

Yes, indeed.  And I actually never fully understood, why everyone still 
recommends a novice GPG user to deal with a couple of Thunderbird + Enigmail, 
where the core functionality required is implemented as an extension over an
