I doubt that this is a bug. Do you have several secret keys? Some folks use
wildcard key specifications and gpg needs to do test encryptions using all
available keys.

I have something on my todo list to make it smoother but I have not found the
time to implement it.

Hello Werner,

I have 2 secret keys in my keyring. The thing is that whenI use Enigmail, it gets the
good key at the first time but with GPOL, I need to enter it many times as you said that
it tries every keys in the keyring. It is a bit annoying but it works in the end...

Thanks

Due to time constraints, the 0.9 series of GpgOL is no longer supported.
I am sorry for this inconvenience. Gpg4win/2 will soon be released featuring a
heavily rewritten GpgOL.
