Can you point to the documentation where it says so? Because the
passphrase is correctly set to "my_passphrase", pinentry-mode should
only ever become relevant when a pinentry is about to invoked, and in
general I just don't see why this should be the case. Additionally, it
makes no sense that there is a "%no-protection" option if this is always
the case anyway. I think that GnuPG 1.4 defaulted to no passphrase if
not supplied with a "Passphrase" option, but this is not GnuPG 1.4; the
"Passphrase" option is a no-op, included only for backwards compatibility.

HTH,

Peter.
