<p>> --for-your-eyes-only does nothin but setting "_CONSOLE" as embedded<br />> filename - it is a useless option and is a PGP 2 legacy.</p>
<p>I figured this would be needed since the man page mentions something<br />about ensuring that no file is saved. I took it to mean that using<br />this would be more secure.</p>
<p><br />> Do not use --no-tty but use<br />><br />> gpg -v --batch -d -o - ~/.authinfo.gpg</p>
<p>Using `--batch` gave error: `Sorry, we are in batchmode - can't get input<br />The command was: `gpg -q --batch --pinentry-mode loopback -d ~/file.gpg`</p>
<p><br />> assuming that you want to see the output on stdout (it is actually the<br />> default with -d but better better make it explicit).</p>
<p>I need the output to be usable by mbsync. And mbsync would get the<br />password via emacs. So I don't want the output on stdout.</p>
<p>I had actually got this to work from within emacs at some point.<br />But I suppose I ended up changing the config and messed it up.<br />I tried different versions of the config that I ended up with by<br />commenting/uncommenting out parts of it, but to no avail.</p>
<p><br />> > use-agent<br />> That is a no-op for many many years.</p>
<p>Ah.. I now see in the man page about it being a dummy option.</p>
<p>> Pretty please update to a current version (2.5.20). 2.2.7 is 8<br />> years</p>
<p>I was just using the gpg version available in my distro.<br />Got to update to newer distro version. But been putting it off since I<br />got to back up my files first.</p>
