Welcome back from your UK vacation...my query is more along the lines of
 what should/can be added to gpg.conf to perhaps automatically protect
the secret Key from being surrendered?  In order to be able to provide
the Session Key *only* what can be automatically introduced into GnuPG
encryption 'each & every' time?  If it isn't possible to do this via
gpg.conf, can it be done via Enigmail "Additional Parameters'?

TIA!

JOHN ;)
