[Bug 156561] Re: Enigmail does not cache passphrase anymore

[sandoz]

The man page of gpg2 says: "gpg2 always requires the agent."  You cannot
turn it off.

I had similar problems, but even worse, because enigmail rejected to
sign/decrypt at all. In the logs it seemed that without asking at all
enigmail though a wrong passphrase was entered.

When I switched to gpg2, and the error message was: "gpg: problem with
the agent: No pinentry".

So I installed Seahorse as an altervative to gnupg-agent and removed
gnupg-agent. But gpg2 refused to work with it, although seahorse
automatically edited the gpg.conf. So I switched back to gpg (version 1)
and everything was fine.
