This is the Pinentry window supplied by Gpg4win, not from Enigmail. We
cannot do anything about it. Enigmail doesn't even know how the
passphrase is obtained.

Yes, of course, thats a pain. In my experience, window focus is, well,
suboptimal on windows.

As said, the Pinentry window is part of the Gpg4win tool suite. They
have support channels, please look here: http://gpg4win.org/support.html

Do you wish to attach the key for every sent email? Or do you want a
shortcut to do this more easily?
