It didn't help. Well, it sort of did, but it also made things worse.
- It helped in the sense that now I only get prompted the first time I
open the file (instead of every time).
- It made things worse in the sense that I now have to type the
password 4(!) times when saving the file (all prompts are inside
emacs). The first prompt is "Passphrase for symmetric encryption for
/.../file.gpg: ", then I get "Confirm password: ", then I get the
first one again, then the second one again.
