When I save or open file in emacs (symmetric), the prompt doesn't say.
Of course it won't show the primary email of the key- there is no public and private keys involved in symmetric encryption- only a passphrase. However, I just tested it with symmetric encryption (which I don't normally use) here and the agent does cache the passphrase.
I see. It is not clear, or simple, to use keypair encryption with emacs, because everytime it asks what key to use, listing the entire hundred or thousand entries in my keylist, and I have to browse for the one I want using cursor keys. Well, yes, now I know how to search for a string. [...] Ok, got it working! It does remember when clicking on save to use the same key as before, and it also remembers the password during some time, so that I can click and save easy and comfortably. :-)) I don't know why, but the previous time it was asking for the key to use every time. But now it works properly. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
