My only (not always popular advice) w.r.t. pinentry is to use a graphical pinentry if at all possible. > I have enabled 'allow-emacs-pinentry' in my gpg.conf, but that does not > resolve the issue either, so I would be grateful for advice.

In any case, if you do want to do that, check the variable system-configuration-options. _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
