Ok, thanks.  (BTW, part of the problem is that when I get the X popup,
Emacs is in an unresponsive state.  And I need Emacs to get the
password.  So I need to run a second Emacs instance, or get the password
before calling Gnus.)

I tried pinentry.el from Gnu Elpa.  What do I need to add exactly to
"~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf"?  Just "allow-emacs-pinentry" as the package's
doc tells doesn't work.

I could figure it out myself I guess, but I decided to CC the author and
hope we can improve the package's doc instead.


Thanks,

Michael.
