I installed mail/pine and security/gnupg from ports. While trying to use

The pkg-message for gnupg clearly says that you need to have a pinentry
program. Glad you figured that bit out.
Now that you mention, yeah, it does! Funny I missed it out. Since it
mentions pinentry there, that's fine, no need to pull it in as a
dependency. My bad. :)
Later, I installed pine-pgp-filters.
Always glad to have a new user, but you might have thought to cc this message
to the author/maintainer of that port. :)
I know you subscribe to this list. Have seen a lot of your postings here,
that's why I didn't copy you specifically. By posting to the list
there'd be some info on this by way of archives and I'd get a reply
from you anyways. :)
BTW, I ask coz I don't know: as a matter of etiquette, is it a good idea
to cc the author/ maintainer of the port even if he/ she is subscribed to
the list?
Now, whenever I send a mail and want to sign/ encrypt it and gnupg has to
ask me for the passphrase, it messes my screen up! I get error messages
like these:
Based on what Pine gives me to work with, I don't see any way that I could
pass control of the terminal to a third application. I use gnupg2 with the
gtk pinentry program with pine and the filters just fine, but if you can't do
X, then ...
Ok, so it is something like what I thought.
For now the only workaround I've come up with is to install
security/gnupg1. That does not require pinentry and so it works well with
pine-pgp-filters.
I think that's your only option.
Hmm, ok.
Thank you,
Rakhesh
