- I'd like to have this explicitly allowed.  Technically suppressing
  INSIDE_EMACS is possible but it is a more code.  It also goes nicely
  with the allow-external-cache option.

- In case gpg-agent is started within Emacs, that envvar will be passed
  anyway.  The special treatmeant of these envars affects is only fo gpg
  and gpgsm to override the envvars known by gpg-agent if they want
  different ones.  The best examples here are the DISPLAY or LC_* envars
  which are often different than those use at the time gpg-agent was
  started.


Salam-Shalom,
