You know you don't have to use the passphrase to encrypt messages, only
to sign them, or decrypt messages sent to you.

I am using gpg-agent, but cannot address your query because I am a
Macintosh user. I have set the gpg-agent cache in gpg-agent.conf to last
24 hours, I am the sole user of my computer.

If you could post to the list the contents of the warning or error
message you get when gpg-agent fails, it might help other Windows XP
users in this forum to assist.

As far as I know GnuPG 1.4.3 is not gpg-agent enabled, the current
version is GnuPG 1.9.20.

Sorry I can't help.
