Thanks for the response. Unfortunately that option seems to have no
effect when using GnuPG2. The setting is remembered as far as Enigmail's
preferences dialog is concerned but the gpg-agent program is always used
no matter what the setting is.
In fact it was noticing that this setting seemed to have no effect that
caused me to ask this question.
