Subject: bug#9112: 24.0.50; EasyPG - creating new gpg-encrypted files fails
Date: Sun, 17 Jul 2011 21:53:51 -0500
With Emacs 23 I could create new gpg-encrypted files by simply
giving the file name the extension .gpg. 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.
