Right, I recall it was a bit of an ordeal to figure it out. I think
either in emacs wiki there is some information (maybe even I added it),
but maybe also in the homepage of the epa author Daiki Ueno I found some
useful information.

Maybe one should add that to info?
I could try to do that in the coming weeks, when I have a bit more time
free, but maybe Lars wants to do that himself, or Daiki Ueno.
