[Solved] mutt and gpg-agent

gauthma · 2012-01-14 18:51:04

I have setup mutt to work with GPG, and I've tested and it seems to work fine. I also have gpg-agent setup, and it seems to be working fine as well. But, when I set

set pgp_use_gpg_agent = yes

in mutt's config, then I am no longer to encrypt, decrypt or sign any email in mutt. I always get:

gpg: skipped "0x92146582": bad passphrase
gpg: signing failed: bad passphrase

I'll probably post this in a mutt mailing list, but I though to ask here first. If there's some specifics about my GPG setup, or mutt setup, feel free to ask. I don't post all of it because it's a sizeable amount of information, that would clutter the post.

EDIT: this happens whenever mutt is setup to use gpg-agent, whether there is any pass-phrase cached or not.

You need to paste the remainder of your pgp_* settings. For one you can't use this in commands --passphrase-fd 0

Here you go:

set pgp_decode_command="gpg %?p?--passphrase-fd 0? --no-verbose --batch --output - %f"
set pgp_verify_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch --output - --verify %s %f"
set pgp_decrypt_command="gpg --passphrase-fd 0 --no-verbose --batch --output - %f"
set pgp_sign_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch --output - --passphrase-fd 0 --armor --detach-sign --textmode %?a?-u %a? %f"
set pgp_clearsign_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch --output - --passphrase-fd 0 --armor --textmode --clearsign %?a?-u %a? %f"
set pgp_encrypt_only_command="pgpewrap gpg --batch --quiet --no-verbose --output - --encrypt --textmode --armor --always-trust -- -r %r -- %f"
set pgp_encrypt_sign_command="pgpewrap gpg --passphrase-fd 0 --batch --quiet --no-verbose --textmode --output - --encrypt --sign %?a?-u %a? --armor --always-trust -- -r %r -- %f"
set pgp_import_command="gpg --no-verbose --import -v %f"
set pgp_export_command="gpg --no-verbose --export --armor %r"
set pgp_verify_key_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch --fingerprint --check-sigs %r"
set pgp_list_pubring_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch --with-colons --list-keys %r"
set pgp_list_secring_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch --with-colons --list-secret-keys %r"

About the --passphrase, are you saying I have to remove it? (I can't test that suggestion right now; I'll do it tomorrow, though)

Yes remove it.

I note a follow on thread to this one was started so they would not bump this old thread. Thank you for that
