No, propably not. I could replicate your problem in a cmd shell with
cygwin1.dll not being in my path.

There are several possibilities to fix this problem:

* Add <path to cygwin1.dll> to PATH.

* Add  "--exec-path /bin:/usr/sbin/gnupg" to the gpg command that enigmail
   uses.

* Add "exec-path /bin:/usr/sbin/gnupg" to your .gnupg/gpg.conf.

* You use a native W32 version. You can even compile it yourself, see
   /usr/share/doc/cygwin/gnupg-1.4.2.1.README. First unpack and patch
   the source
     $ cd /usr/src ; ./gnupg-1.4.2.1-1.sh prep
   and then read /usr/src/gnupg-1.4.2.1/CYGWIN-PATCHES/gnupg.MinGW.README

* I patch the source ...

I would actually like to avoid the last option as this latest version works
as desired in a cygwin environment and I could remove the hack that added
/bin to the exec-path.
Your problem is different, you're using a cygwin program an a native W32
environment and there are enough workarounds.

But as always, PTC! ;)
