Thoughts on GnuPG and automation

It breaks mailpile because gpg-agent is not session aware.  A user could
be logged in locally, using mailpile, and a remote attacker could access
the web interface of that locally running mailpile instance, which since
it is talking to the same gpg-agent, would think the remote user is
logged in (or more precisely, has the private key).

I think that one solution would be to have mailpile use a per-session
gpg home dir.
