My difficulty in sending a signed email was NOT down to the new nightly build. I have now switched back to enigmail v1.6 and I have the same problem. This is no doubt explained by my transfer of emailing from windows7 to linux in the past couple of days. I was happy that everything looked familiar and seemed to behave in same way under linux but I was apparently kidding myself. I even used Enigmail's Key Manager to import my keyrings after failing to get Kleopatra and GPA to do so. Once imported by Enigmail, they were immediately available under Kleo etc. I've checked all my settings in Thunderbird, and Thunderbird does find GnuPG in /usu/bin/gpg. But when I want to send a signed email, it presents first the OpenPgp confirmation dialog and when I select OK, it immediately gives the error message "Bad passphrase" without having given any opportunity to provide the passphrase. Same problem arises if I try to park the email in 'Drafts' - and I wouldn't have expected to sign the mail before parking it in drafts, anyway. I had to dump a part written email because it couldn't be saved as a draft. There must be something in the operation under linux that I have missed - I am a very recent linux user so if anyone can point me to the corrections needed, that would be much appreciated. Philip
