Hi,

I have a fresh install of 16.04 since several weeks, and regularly apply updates.
Somewhere along the lines Evolution stopped to sign a mail with gpg, instead
I get the error message:

  Because "gpg: writing to '-'
  gpg: signing failed: No passphrase given
  gpg: signing failed: No passphrase given
  ", you may need to select different mail options.

note the double "gpg: signing failed. Unsure if that is relevant.

gpg --list-keys works, and has the key I have in Prefs -> Mail Accounts -> Edit -> Security

Originally, I got a popup asking for my gpg passphrase, I don't get
that since some update anymore. I'd suspect that is the cluprit.

=> How to manually invoke the gpg signing with window asking for passphrase ?

Yours,
Steffen
