Do you mean that you are not able to > encrypt a file even with symmetric encryption? Oh, now I see: the pinentry window completely confused me as it was not particularly verbose concerning the context of its appearence. It simply asked "Enter passphrase", but it did not say how the passphrase would be used. -- This is something that has annoyed me various times, but it is really not (not only) an emacs issue, but it applies also to gpg. ...Well, it would be nice if either gpg or emacs could tell the user that the file the user wants to save is just about to go through symmetric encryption (and not any other encryption mechanism the user might hope for). Otherwise, any misunderstanding concerning the encryption mechanism could imply that a file is essentially lost after saving.

Right, but some people (Ted and Lars at least) feel the behavior too verbose. Maybe pinentry could be improved to display what gpg will do. Actually I sometimes use gnome-keyring-daemon's gpg-agent support, which displays two passphrase entries for confirmation and that implies symmetric encryption.

Right, but some people (Ted and Lars at least) feel the behavior too verbose. Maybe pinentry could be improved to display what gpg will do. Actually I sometimes use gnome-keyring-daemon's gpg-agent support, which displays two passphrase entries for confirmation and that implies symmetric encryption.

Then emacs would ask me which public keys to use for encryption. Now emacs will pop up a pinentry window which doesn't do anything useful. Whatever I enter there results in the error message Opening output file: Encrypt failed: ((exit)) But I cannot select anymore the public keys I want to use for encryption. The bottom line is that I don't know anymore what I could / should do to create new gpg-encrypted files.
