I FINALLY figured this one out. The latest enigmail is *always* passing '--use-agent' to gpg, even if the "Use Agent" box isn't checked in the engmail perferences. That's a bug. The reason it manifested itself the way it did, was that I had gpg-agent's pinentry program set to 'pinentry-curses', which couldn't popup from thunderbird because there was no terminal. As a result, gpg-agent couldn't get a passphrase, so gpg couldn't get a passphrase, so sending the message failed. Temporary work arounds: - Uninstall gpg-agnet - Set default pinentry to pinentry-qt or pinentry-gtk Solution: - Make the "Use Agent" checkbox work as advertised. -- Phil Dibowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Open Source software and tech docs Insanity Palace of Metallica http://www.phildev.net/ http://www.ipom.com/ "Never write it in C if you can do it in 'awk'; Never do it in 'awk' if 'sed' can handle it; Never use 'sed' when 'tr' can do the job; Never invoke 'tr' when 'cat' is sufficient; Avoid using 'cat' whenever possible" -- Taylor's Laws of Programming
