If you are you referring to this message:

+        "The GNOME keyring manager hijacked the GnuPG agent.";
+        "GnuPG will not work proberly - please configure that "
+        "tool to not interfere with the GnuPG system!";

then this comes directly from the underlying gpg2. We cannot influence
the text. I also think, that the gnupg developpers did not deliberatly
choose such a strong wording.

I agree completely with "don't make crypto overly complicated".

However, Enigmail relies completely on gnupg for the crypto stuff. If
gnupg decides to "hate" the gnome keyring behaviour regarding
gnupg-agent, then we are only the messenger of the gnupg status output.

If you want to discuss gnupg behaviour, the best place would be the
gnupg-users list ([email protected]).
