So I still can't find anything _useful_, but I'm slowly learning more
about EasyPG (and epa, etc., etc., etc.) by reading miles of elisp.

I'm hugely missing PGG though.

This EasyPG is anything but.  It's like stepping back into the dark ages
of PGP when it first arrived, but with a Windoze wrapper on it all.

I'm seriously thinking of hacking SEMI to use PGG again unless someone
can help with at least the following very serious UX issues:

- how do I do the equivalent of pgg-fetch-key in EasyPG?

- how do I get SEMI/EasyPG to choose the most appropriate default
  signing key based on the "From:" header?

Less serious are things like the new fixed/frozen policy-first
B.S. (instead of simply providing "mechanisms for policies with good
defaults") in both EasyPG/epa and Emacs in general (sort of like the
same B.S. in Chrome).

For example I can't easily and separately decide whether it's OK to not
hide my passphrase while typing it, and yet still hide my IMAP
password.  PGG had a simple hook via pgg-read-passphrase.

Hacking EasyPG to add these features seems harder than reverting to PGG
and getting it to work nicely again with GPG-2.2 et al.


Also, how do I get SEMI to always sign all messages by default?
