I still do not have a very good understanding of the problem and why it
does or does not occur. I have, however, had gpg4win working with
Sylpheed for some time now without any larger incidents (or cmd windows)
and without doing any re-configuring on the gpg side - as stated in the
attached previous message.

Hope it helps.

I haven't exactly understood how the supplied GPG Windows binaries are
supposed to work, either. I do, however, have a working fix:
Replace libgpg-error-0.dll and libgpgme-11.dll in the Sylpheed folder with
the GnuPG ones - and it miraculously works.
