If I reinstalled gpg and then immediately ran Thunderbird all was good, but one can't reinstall software each time you want to run another program. I also tried to run gpg-agent --daemon prior to loading Thunderbird eg: $gpg-agent --daemon $thunderbird and it would work - sometimes. But all running instances of gpg-agent had to be killed or Thunderbird would not close completely and would be running in the background. I don't see where I can upgrade my production system to 2.0.16 until it's pushed down through CentOS. What is the difference between your command and mine? eval $(gpg-agent --daemon) and gpg-agent --daemon ? I may try this second solution at some point. _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list [email protected] https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
