Hi Olav and Patrick,

thanks for the advice. I do have GnuPG 1.4 installed, but Enigmail is
configured to use gpg2, which is version 2.0. However, looking through
the debugging logs now, I see lots of messages of this kind:

gpg: WARNING: The GNOME keyring manager hijacked the GnuPG agent.
gpg: WARNING: GnuPG will not work properly - please configure that tool
to not interfere with the GnuPG system!

So apparently gpg-agent and the gnome keyring manager don't play well
together, somehow. Searching the internets for this message yields a lot
of hits, with different advice given, ranging from just stopping GnuPG
from complaining [1] to disabling the gpg-agent part of the gnome
keyring [2].

As non-expert for the inner workings of Enigmail/GnuPG, I am not sure
which of these options (if any) is the right one. After all, Enigmail
does fail to sign my emails, so it seems to be more than an annoying,
but harmless warning here. Any advice from a more expert perspective?

Thanks a lot,
Mike
