<p>welcome to 10.10 :)</p>
<p>We assume that <em>if</em> a user selects a mail, it is the
intention to get to the mail content, thus GPGMail asks for the
passphrase.</p>
<p>If you get asked too often, you might want to disable the
setting in Mail.app > Preferences > GPGMail to "Create
preview for list view". But that should not have any effect when
you are using the classic view.</p>
<p>Also you might want to visit the following KB-article on
passphrase managment. Maybe storing your passphrase in the OS X
keychain is an option for you or otherwise you might want to
experiment with different timeout timings: <a href=
"http://support.gpgtools.org/kb/faq/passphrase-management">http://support.gpgtools.org/kb/faq/passphrase-management</a></p>
<p>I suggest using GPGMail 2 a bit more an eperimenting with the
settings.</p>
<p>Let me know, how this works out for you,<br>

<p>Thx for your reply. Yes, I noticed the option "Create preview
for list view" and tried it already beforehand. But as you point
out, it's doesn't change the behavior in "classic layout" mode in
any way.</p>
<p>I see the point, that an automatic decryption should be
performed in case a user clicks on an email. But in my case the
email is selected automatically, after I deleted a later email. As
this can happen at any time during operation, the increasing of the
timeout of the passphrase doesn't help much. The only option is to
store the passphrase in the keychain what I would judge as being
less optimal.</p>
<p>Personally I would like to get the button above the email back
and/or to have an option in the preferences "Decrypt emails
automatically when they are being selected." Well - yes, also in
case the preference would be there, you would need the button then
to initiate the decryption.</p>

<p>PS: Yes, I skipped 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 and jumped directly to
10.10.</p></div>Reutitag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/358192992015-01-25T19:53:13Z2015-01-25T19:53:13ZAutomatic decryption in 2.5, no button above the email any longer<div><p>Hey Reuti,</p>
<p>in that case you should be able to cancle the pinentry dialogue
to abort the decryption.</p>
<p>How is that behaving for you?</p></div>Stevetag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/358192992015-01-25T20:53:24Z2015-01-25T20:53:24ZAutomatic decryption in 2.5, no button above the email any longer<div><p>Hi,</p>
<p>Yes, I can press it to avoid the decryption. But: as I have
switched on "Mail => View => Organize by conversation" the
pinentry box pops up several times - for each of the messages in
the flow of discussion.</p>
<p>Pressing it once would be ok, but I have to cancel several times
- for each of the messages in the conversation. And there is no way
out to stop it.</p>

time when the user aborts the process while being on a threaded
mail stack.</p>
<p>We'll update this discussion as soon as we have news regarding
that feature.</p></div>Steve
