gpg-agent in Enigmail/Thunderbird

I recall some time ago I had a question as to how I can use gpg-agent
in Windows for Thunderbird/Enigmail. Since there is no release of
gpg-agent for Windows (without building it yourself), I had to enter
in my passphrase every time TB started up (I had the pass cache for
9999 minutes).

I figured out that in the Enigmail options, you can have it add string
of options before the command. If you add --passphrase "#####" it will
bypass the --passphrase-fd 0 that it puts there by default. The only
downside is that the pass is not stored securely.
