Not using gpg-agent also breaks usage of OpenGPG-card. When the card is
not yet locked by the gpg-agent, gpg will fall back to its own card
driver (when available) and will still be able to decrypt the message.
But when an other process has already accessed the card through the
gpg-agent, the card is locked and gpg can't use its direct card driver
anymore. Decrypting and signing will fail.

I traced the problem back to '81_dont_use_agent_before_gpg_2.dpatch'.
Disabling it fixes the problem. With the patch enigmail always adds
--no-use-agent to the gpg options, regardless of the setting setting
'use gpg-agent for passphrases' in the options.

thanks,

Winfried
