address@hidden Caching Passphrases
+
+Typing passphrases is an irritating task if you frequently open and
+close the same file.  GnuPG and EasyPG Assistant provide mechanisms to
+remember your passphrases.  However, the configuration is a bit
+confusing since it depends on your GnuPG installation (GnuPG version 1 or
+GnuPG version 2), encryption method (symmetric or public key), and whether or
+not you want to use gpg-agent.  Here are some questions:
+
address@hidden
address@hidden Do you use GnuPG version 2 instead of GnuPG version 1?
address@hidden Do you use symmetric encryption rather than public key 
encryption?
address@hidden Do you want to use gpg-agent?
