Using mutt with or without "set crypt_use_gpgme" ?

gpg conveys DISPLAY to gpg-agent so that pinentry can use the expected
display.  However, if there is a still abnother pinentry open on the
otehr display you need to wait for its timeout first.

ssh does not convey DISPLAY to gpg-agent so that you need to tell
gpg-agent about it by using

  gpg-connect-agent updatestartuptty /bye

Because gpg-agent does all the private key operations.  This has always
been the case for gpgsm; with 2.1 we have changed gpg to work the same.
