Ah, I thought so.
But you see, when I post an email here, with gpg signature, the agent prompts me to sign it and displays, in that prompt message, the key identifier and primary email of the key it is going to use.
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.
