Hi,

I am running OS X 10.11.1 (and on another the latest version), in 
combination with compiled-from-source mutt 1.5.23hg, and gpg 2.0.29 and 
gpg-agent 2.0.29 (the latter two via Homebrew).

This all works fine, but one thing: caching of passphrase for, for 
example, ten minutes. As I understand it, this is a problem with the 
session mutt runs in: each new mutt decryption and signing operation 
runs in a new session and hence can't access the previous' one.

Probably, I can work around this, but to avoid spending hours of 
searching for a good solution: has anyone else done this before?
