PGG: multiple requests for passphrase

[Bill Harris]

I've been using pgg with gpg for several years in Emacs / Gnus on
Windows, and it's worked as I expected.

I recently moved to Linux (Ubuntu 8.04) and grabbed their Emacs 22.1.1
and Gnus 5.11 (the same as I had on Windows IIRC). Now when I send a
signed message, it asks me for my passphrase twice.

The only things I can find in my .emacs or .gnus referencing pgg are

(require 'pgg)

and

'(pgg-passphrase-cache-expiry 240)

both in .emacs.

Any ideas why the behavior changed between the two systems (and what to
do to have it ask only once)? I did find a 2003 posting in
gnu.emacs.gnus that suggested someone else has seen it, but I didn't see
a resolution. You can find that under the title " PGG - multiple
requests for passphrase" at http://preview.tinyurl.com/4e4lyd

Thanks,

Bill
