thank you, but changing this globally unfortunately causes problem with
thunderbird/enigmail. I get this error when trying to open encrypted mail:

Your GnuPG installation is configured to use the console for pinentry.
However, when using Enigmail you need a graphical version of pinentry.

This is a system setup or configuration error that prevents Enigmail
from working properly and cannot be fixed automatically.

What I would like to achieve is, that only when I call gog from the
commandline, (gpg -c foo.txt) is the text-based pinentry called
