This is why I disabled gpg-agent.  As little as I use Gnupg/PGP, I would
always have to enter the passphrase at Evolution PIM startup... even
though I had no intentions of using gpg for the entire session.  (It's
because a lot of the passwords are put in a gpg keyring ... or
something.)

It makes sense if you use Signatures/Encryption on a daily basis.

If you only use Signatures/Encryption once a month, that's a lot of
passphrase entering & caching!

Granted, I now have to enter the pin each time I sign an email, it's
rare though.  (And, might be a good thing as some people's clients I
email with a PGP based signature have severe issues viewing the email
properly for reasons.  As such, this prevents me from automagically
signing & sending.)
