Hello,

This message is just a note about pinentry setting and potentially a
problem. My Evo 3.56.2 is on a Gentoo custom linux (twm window manager)
machine. Periodic Gentoo updates suggests to use pinentry-gnome3
setting, but Evo fails with message signed:
...../screenshot converted to text begins/
Could not create message.

You may need to selec different mail options.

Detaled error: Output from gpg2:
gpg: enabled compatibility flags:
no running gpg-agent- starting '/usr/bin/gpg-agent'
waiting for the agent to come up .. (8s)

using subkey foo instead of primary key foo

pinentry-qt6 works.
