The behaviour I saw was with the gpg-agent from version 2.0.16 (yet still working with GPG 1.4.11; the gpg-agent from GPG2 stopped working with 1.4.11 when I installed 2.0.17 and I haven't played with it since). Even when my passphrase had been cached for my default key, every time a message using the throw-id option was encountered, I would be prompted through a cycle of every secret key I had indefinitely. When just using 1.4.11 and using the passphrase cache in Enigmail, this does not occur and the messages with throw-id behave themselves as intended. I have not tested whether this is just with gpg-agent in conjunction with TB/Enigmail or any file encrypted with that option. Regards, Ben
