Windows is not a second class citizen.  I am pretty sure that more gpg
encrypted mails are sent from Windows hosts than from any other OS. 

And yes, it is political: We fully support Windows because a( privacy is
important and b) we want to make it easier to eventually switch over to
a free and and less prone to backdoors platform for all users

That was actually changed with 2.0.10 in 2009:

 * [gpg] The option --fixed-list-mode is now implicitly used and obsolete.

The --fixed-list-mode option was introduced with 1.0.5 in 2001 to fix a
bug in the colon listing.  If has ever since then been suggested for all
users.  Without that option you are simply not able to correctly get all
information.  


Salam-Shalom,
