When you say "because i'm using the gpg-agent […]" does it mean that:
a) you're simply using it, and expect Claws Mail to be able to found that
fact by itself and do not ask for passwords
b) you have also checked "Use gpg-agent to manage passwords" option in
Claws Mail's preferences Plugins/GPG panel but is still asking for
passwords
