Agreed. This would be temporary for one more reason, by the way: we
intent to replace Claws Mails by icedove (rebranded Thunderbird).
Also, please note that Tails currently uses Seahorse as its GnuPG
agent. This might change in the future as it seems that Seahorse does
not support OpenPGP smartcards properly.

I'm curious: any other examples of applications that would misbehave
with the agent in Tails (or elsewhere)?
Cheers,
