Thank you, Nikolay,
I think I've got it right, though I am still not sure what had happened.
gpg2 was in the right place, and it did use the keyrings in ~/.gnupg,
but for some reason that escapes me it was not able to find them when
called from emacs. When I followed the advice from
<https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2008-April/033222.html>
that you kindly pointed me to, of a sudden gpg2 (called from the command
line), GPA and Kleopatra (key managers provided with Gpg4win) did not
find the keys anymore, either.
Therefore, I uninstalled and re-installed Gpg4win and imported the keys
from a backup. Since I have done that, everything works as expected
again, with one pleasant side effect: When trying to open a .gpg-file
from Emacs, I am asked for the pass phrase in the minibuffer instead of
in a Windows™ window. Which is what I want and failed to achieve
before.
Thanks again and best regards
Rainer
