So if one use gnus with a .authinfo.gpg, and use also
delete-by-moving-to-trash, he will have the bad surprise to find his
authinfo data in clear text in the trash.

Maybe let-bind delete-by-moving-to-trash in epg-delete-output-file would
be good.
It's what i will do here anyway.


(defun epg-delete-output-file (context)
  "Delete the output file of CONTEXT."
  (let ((delete-by-moving-to-trash nil))
    (when (and (epg-context-output-file context)
             (file-exists-p (epg-context-output-file context)))
      (delete-file (epg-context-output-file context)))))

With this change, data in clear text will never go to trash.
