I guess I have delimited the bug better: if you started an email and the
editing windows is open a good amount of time (enough for saving a draft
automatically), let's say 30 minutes, when you try to send the email and
passphrase is not cached, GPG2.exe halts the email program until you
terminate gpg2.exe

I hope this helps in order to define the bug properly

best regards,

Juan
