Outlook decativates plugins when they are slow to load. As GpgOL pulls up gpg-
agent and kleopatra on launch this might be the issue there. :-/

Jep we had a long discussion about this. See 
http://wiki.gnupg.org/SignatureHandling feel free to comment there why this 
does not work in your use case.

Mmh, what we do there is ask outlook "Hey Outlook please give me the sender 
object for this mail" "Of that sender object can I have the SMTP address 
please" and then use this as encryption recipient. I'll try to look into this 
next time I start to work on GpgOL

Clipboard is definitely a good stopgap (until we can do a proper outlook >2010 
plugin). Both Kleopatra (as of gpg4win-2.2.2) and GPA have Clipboard options 
in their menu.
Kleopatra also offers the clipboard option through the system tray. If you 
configure it not to be hidden in the tray this should be "easy".
Right Click on Kleopatra's icon -> Clipboard. 

Regards,
Andre
