Dear gnupg-users,

I'm not subscribed to the list (tried to send email to gnupg-users-subscrib=
e - but that didn't work, I have yet to find info on how to subscribe (I'm =
probably just blind).

I found a howto on the gpa-devel list:

http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gpa-dev/2003-January/001148.html

describing howto use gpgsm.

The reason I wanted to try it - is that we in Denmark have gotten a digital=
 certifikate solution that is pkcs12 certifikates.
I have backed up my certificate from Mozilla to a pkcs12 file and then when=
 I try to invoke it I get a weird response.

when I envoke:

gpgsm --call-protect-tool  --p12-import --store certkey.p12

I get this output:
gpg-protect-tool: gpg-agent is not available in this session
gpg-protect-tool: error while asking for the passphrase

I tried starting the gpg-agent both as server and as deamon.

I've searched google and whatever I could find without finding an answer
:(

Also - once this is working, I'm going to try and see if I can make
gpgsm work with evolution-1.2.3. If you have hints, please tell me.
