Note that Enigmail doesn't handle passphrases at all if gpg2 is used. Then,
only gpg-agent does.

This might be due to what Werner Koch described in
http://lists.wald.intevation.org/pipermail/gpg4win-users-en/2010-February/000443.html

| Another reason why you might see more prompts that expected is due to
