There was a recent thread on this:

https://groups.google.com/d/topic/qubes-users/8g-WwvOw_ck/discussion

Short answer:

"You may experience trouble when attempting to use a PGP key with a
passphrase along with Split-GPG and Enigmail. If you do, you may need
to remove the passphrase from your (sub)key(s) in order to get
Split-GPG working correctly. As mentioned above, we do not believe PGP
key passphrases to be significant from a security perspective."

[qubes-users] GPG Pin entry / Passphrase on Enigmail with IceDove / Thunderbird

2017-01-26 Thread Max
I appreciate this is probably not a Qubes specific question but given that I 
couldn't find the answer on other threads and I suspect others on this 
distribution list would be using a similar version of software I wanted to 
check if this was a known issue/feature.

I am currently unable to paste the passphrase into the pin entry in Enigmail 
when attempting to decrypt my messages. This worked a few weeks ago. Also, once 
I manually type in the key, the password is not cached at all meaning I have to 
type it in repeatedly for every message. Is there a way to change this 
behaviour?

I am using Debian 8 on Qubes 3.2 with Enigmail 1.8.2 downloaded from the Debian 
software packages as opposed to the Thunderbird / Icedove add ons.
