encription fails if pgpagent is used
OpenPGP addon for Mozilla Thunderbird
Brought to you by:

Encrption fails if gpgagent is running. The passphrase is never asked about, even if it was never entered. Encription fails with error "Bad Passphrase".
It does not help to enter the passphrase by calling any of the keyring tools directly. Same error: "Bad Passphrase" or "Incorrect Passphrase".
Encryption never takes a passphrase. Only signing (alone or combined with encryption) needs a passphrase. Please write exactly what you have done and when the error message pops up. Which operating system are you using?
Excuse me -- I meant signing.
