I assume you mean the variable GPG_AGENT_INFO. Enigmail does not set that variable, Enigmail would only pass the variable on to gpg if the variable is set _before_ Thunderbird was started. With GnuPG 2.0.16 and newer, Enigmail does not start gpg-agent at all. gpg-agent is started automatically by gpg, if needed. The question is therefore, is gpg-agent started by gpg every time a password is needed, or is gpg-agent running as daemon and for some reason gpg cannot connect to it? - -Patrick -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJWO4DCAAoJENsRh7ndX2k7XMcP/1tFtmxxnnMnF1PkBtZ0sCQq 7pJUwvd94Vj61vdRstUgMWTEqPDzWt/Jbh6ygQnVB7AzC6FnKqIUV89eDplfeBNi EJ7jcMeG4nxhIpr8OlVGL23xXs5QfJA+sAq0SE/uuCzH7PtroPpgHUxGjqvMBS/1 HGs5tq1N5ji6BLQg0WITZbczN7arzbzEwaxEKmbOz9xjXolavHOpk8S1wOhkWNrp UeZASK5VDtZOaj0eePGMvT4i272PR6N1akw4u2iEMpbn0LniM5PQ4i0zPE59edfF V2M/K39g1NjYj22eypULXIHOkeEjlSJkkjXO9R5G9Le21bZzFdcp9+clIqoUQ9/X F4sfwf2qXW3XVx2LI/fGYiUu5XeeIePzHDEc/UOKbjoovWy3x69GjxlpcCWXiU5/ YfJ7Ex5ge+75wUR+HjaScgBDbGU4MdTTbNYW/Fy0evOBgOAXvzpEP1Bsyu5JFEnJ IwgyT/W76ZHNKUf9BdTKct2KbP17TnhDZqc7u9xe5NNWRrkNto1hnOjuB79FO9SV YylBxddyJTGVR4NLc7dNxR4zb+J2iusW4ymlhWoOmjxutQgarMS81tI4tgkWk8Sf v8sSeyK10OdWzpKAoZlhwF0sfwgX3IIWlah7fzx6g/Jth2aaYviEhl2Nd7X9Vn5Z UnAbRk/gx+L3sWONwUpx =wgDR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
