Hi!

If you set a high verbosity level ("--verbose --verbose" on the command
line, or "verbose" twice in gpg.conf), gnupg-1.4.0 writes some
information to stdout (using fputs/printf IIRC). This may be not
desired/expected in some programs or by users. It's easily worked
around, though, by adding --no-verbose as additional gpg option, for
example in Enigmail.

Is printing the verbose information to stdout wanted behavior? I think
it should go to stderr instead.

Have a look at g10/parse-packet.c for details, and assume that list_mode
== 1.

Cheers,
