Under OpenPGP-Preferences-Basic you can set

to any value up to , which is almost 7 days.

How does the --passphrase-fd option work? How do I use that to
store/autoenter my password?

gnupg-agent not working...

Hello,
I am using Thunderbird with the Enigmail extension. It gets annoying
to me to have to enter in my password every time I want to send a
signed (every email) or encrypted (only some) email. Sure, it saves it
for 5 minutes idle time, but it's not like someone is going to go on
my computer and send emails signed by me as it is a private computer
which only I have access to. In the past I have used the gnupg-agent
to not have to enter my password and it worked, but now it doesn't. I
do not know why. I have GnuPG 1.4.3 under Windows XP (I have it for
SUSE 10.0 also, but I haven't tried it on that machine yet.).
Thunderbird is 1.5.0.4 and Enigmail is 0.94.0. Thanks.

You know you don't have to use the passphrase to encrypt messages, only
to sign them, or decrypt messages sent to you.

 Sure, it saves it
 for 5 minutes idle time, but it's not like someone is going to go on
 my computer and send emails signed by me as it is a private computer
 which only I have access to. In the past I have used the gnupg-agent

I am using gpg-agent, but cannot address your query because I am a
Macintosh user. I have set the gpg-agent cache in gpg-agent.conf to last
24 hours, I am the sole user of my computer.

If you could post to the list the contents of the warning or error
message you get when gpg-agent fails, it might help other Windows XP
users in this forum to assist.

As far as I know GnuPG 1.4.3 is not gpg-agent enabled, the current
version is GnuPG 1.9.20.

Sorry I can't help.
