I have Enigmail 1.5.1 running on Thunderbird 17.0.3 running on RHEL 6 Linux.
When I try to send an email, Thunderbird shows a dialog that says:
Failed to initialize Enigmail.
Send unencrypted message?
[ Cancel ] [ Send Message ]
(I don't really use encryption but do sign things.)
If I look under the OpenGPG -> Preferences, I see:
Files and Directories:
Could not find GnuPG
[ ] Override with [......]
If I issue 'which gpg' at the command line, it responds with
'/usr/bin/gpg', and if I run either 'gpg' or '/usr/bin/gpg', it seems to
work. (It responds with 'gpg: Go ahead and type your message ...'.)
If I turn on expert settings and look at OpenGPG -> Debugging Options ->
View Console, I see this:
Initializing Enigmail service ...
EnigmailAgentPath=/usr/bin/gpg
enigmail> /usr/bin/gpg --version --version --batch --no-tty
--charset utf-8 --display-charset utf-8
gpg (GnuPG) 2.0.14

Just in case it's relevant, when I press 'OK' in the settings dialog,
Enigmail responds with 'Your system uses gpg-agent or a similar tool for
passphrase handling (gpg-agent is mandatory if GnuPG v2.0 or later is
used). Since caching of passphrases is handled by gpg-agent, the
respective timeout settings in OpenPGP are disregarded. In order to
change passphrase caching options, please configure your gpg-agent tool.'
Finally, until recently, Enigmail worked correctly. I *think* it stopped
working recently when we had an OS update. Unfortunately, I'm not sure
what all changed, but quite possibly Thunderbird was updated at this point.
Any suggestions as to what might be wrong?
