Hmm, sorry, I see that I got ahead of myself here - the rest of the
thread indicates that Claws is definitely supposed to use the agent.

I have that agent option ticked, and my agent is definitely running:
 [9+0]~$ env | fgrep -i gpg_agent
GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-mrZzjt/S.gpg-agent:2423:1

Nonetheless, I am asked for the passphrase every time.

Debug?
