Every time I view PGP-encrypted mail, aerc fails to decrypt it, citing gpg(1) failing with the error gpgmail: failed to read PGP message: FAILURE gpg-exit 33554433

That is true. You can set the auto-locate-key option in gpg.conf. My bad.

Could there be a configuration option to have gpg(1) search for PGP keys if they are not present? While there is a security risk with using keyservers, a reasonable(non-default?) setting may be using WKD to search for a key and importing it if found.

I have created a template. It seems to place two timezone offsets on the first line in my reply e-mail:

The option to hide your timezone doesn’t make any sense if the message body also contains the real timezone.

After deliberation in the IRC, I was told this could possibly be solved. I would rather not use pinentry-curses because my main use of my pgp key is signing git commits and a simple prompt is less disruptive. I refuse to use a graphical pinentry program.

I’m not sure how it works with mutt, I’ve always found it uncomfortable to use so I avoided it.

When I try to encrypt an e-mail to someone with my PGP key, the pinentry-tty prompt tries to request my key’s password, which breaks the UI.
