Hi there,

I'm using Thunderbird 45.1.1 on OS X with Enigmail 1.9.3 (20160603-1417)
and also tried the nightly build (build date: 2016-06-13, version:
2.0a1pre, git rev: 97050e4789b4ea56cff653098143409e3adcc2a6) to no
avail. My keys and everything was working fine before re-installing OS X
on my laptop. I imported the Enigmail settings from the previous
installation, but something seems to be off.

When sending signed (non-encrypted) messages the send operation aborts
with the error message "encryption command failed" after entering the
password, so I tried to follow the troubleshooting section "Resolving
issues with GnuPG 2.x and gpg-agent", but although I'm an intermediate
level sysadmin I have a hard time to get my head around this.

I first manually created a symlink from
/usr/local/gnupg-2.1/bin/pinentry-mac.app/Contents/MacOS/pinentry-mac to
/usr/local/bin/pinentry. When I now execute the script from step 1 in
the troubleshooting section, I get the following answer

> 2016-06-13 22:14:16.782 pinentry[957:39089] No Info.plist file in
> application bundle or no NSPrincipalClass in the Info.plist file, exiting

I added "pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-gtk" to
~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf and restarted my machine once again. Now I get
the following error before being able to enter the password

> GnuPG cannot query your passphrase via pinentry.

After removing "pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-gtk" from
gpg-agent.conf and rebooting once more, I'm back to the initial error
message "encryption command failed" after entering the password.

When I run gpg-connect-agent I get

> gpg-connect-agent: no running gpg-agent - starting
> '/usr/local/gnupg-2.1/bin/gpg-agent'
> gpg-connect-agent: waiting for the agent to come up ... (5s)
> gpg-connect-agent: connection to agent established
> > GETINFO version
> D 2.1.12
> OK

Executing gpg-connect-agent as indicated in step 6 brings up the
graphical window as expected. Also tried step 7 which does not provide
any additional info. The output is

> gpg-agent[639]: enabled debug flags: command cache ipc
> gpg-agent[639]: listening on socket '/Users/nick/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent'
> gpg-agent[640]: gpg-agent (GnuPG) 2.1.12 started
> Killed: 9
> Nicks-MBP:~ nick$ gpg-agent[640]: parent process died - shutting down
> gpg-agent[640]: gpg-agent (GnuPG) 2.1.12 stopped
> gpg-agent[640]: secmem usage: 0/32768 bytes in 0 blocks

Any ideas what I might be missing here?

Cheers,
Nick
