Re: why is "q" bound to `delete-window' instead of `quit-window' in epa-

User-agent: Wanderlust/2.15.9 (Almost Unreal) SEMI-EPG/1.14.7 (Harue) FLIM-LB/1.14.9 (Gojō) APEL-LB/10.8 EasyPG/1.0.0 Emacs/27.2 (x86_64-apple-darwin18.7.0) MULE/6.0 (HANACHIRUSATO)

It is probably for security reasons, epa-info-mode is for displaying
decrypted texts, so basically one shouldn't leak that info to the
others by quit-window and leave the buffer containing sensitively
information to the others. Although I understand that it might be
unnecessary to those have sole access to their computer, and neither
delete-window is safe proof to more advance attacks.
