Well, I think you mean this one thread I'm also thinking of ;)
I'm one the list since Evo 0.6 (that was loooong ago ;). I really like
Evo and in my opinion the developers are quite interested in
implementing features people want. But you also have to see that maybe
there are other problems at the moment that have to be solved. I really
like to have a stable Evo even if there is a feature missing. There can
be many bugs that are showstoppers for some people (with showstopper I
mean Evo doesn't come up / show up or is completely unusable)
(And I also think that one has to choose it's words carefully if he
wants something from someone; that's no critic to your post, which seems
to be okay to me)

This seems already to being implemented in the devel version.
At the moment the devel version [1.1] seems to be kind of unstable, but
that will hopefully change soon.
If I correctly remember some people use FIFOs for this purpose at the
moment, but I also could be wrong, because I don't use those "features".

Strange... You mean, when you hit reply the text is not decrypted or am
I misunderstanding something?
Here the decryption when replying works quite fine, I never saw those
problems (but I don't use pgp/gpg that often...)
