Hi, attached you find a patch allowing the user to add/remove flags before running GPG. This is useful for specifying "--trust-model always" only for certain GPG calls without introducing a whole bunch of new configuration options. An example hook (which will add the ability to send encrypted email to people to whom you have no trust relation): if args =~ /--encrypt/ "--trust-model always #{args}" else args end Please merge this patch for the next release Best regards, Michael
