You are not using gpg-agent, right?  In general the apssphrase call
back should work too but it is often problematic.  You are better off
in any case to use gpg-agent.

Not sure about this.  We are currently working on an updated Sylpheed port
to Windows and while doing this we will for sure also check out this
problem because there is no well working gpg-agent for Windows yet and
thus we need to make the passphrase callback working.  So, please have
some patience in case you can't use gpg-agent.
