Hello Alexander,

OK, to manage the GnuPG stack isn't easy - you are right!

But maybe an internal call of the GnuPG binaries by an internal shell isn't recommended. Please consult:
"GPGME - the API to GnuPG" here: <https://wiki.gnupg.org/APIs>

The use of an internal call by a shell is described as: "(not recommended) calling executables directly"

If you don't see an other way to run GnuPG, than please see the bug no #2289: <https://bt.ritlabs.com/view.php?id=2289>.
Please avoid to use the "--daemon" parameter - otherwiese "gpg-agent.exe" will run for ever...!

Hello,

Gwen> You stop fixing The Bat! issues with use of external GnuPG? Sad.
Gwen> Has development team stopped to use external GnuPG?


Autocrypt requires deeper integration with the email client and we can provide
that in the best possible way from our side. Unfortunately, when it comes to
GnuPG there are certain issues that we are not always able to overcome. We
will continue to support GnuPG, but we do not want to make promises we cannot
keep.
