I get the dialogue asking for my passphrase, which I duly enter, then the email displays in an encrypted format anyway.  Any ideas?

Some more info which may help.  Someone on the Sabayon forum is helping me to troubleshoot this.  He's asked whether gpg-agent is running.  If I run the command myself it insists it's running and available, however I cannot find any instance of it using the ps command, and I cannot find the gpg-agent.conf file referenced in its man page.  Could this be the problem?

Kind regards,
