Hi,

Whenever I try to read an encrypted e-mail I get the following error
message:

"GnuPG cannot query your passphrase via pinentry.

This is a system setup or configuration error that prevents Enigmail
from working properly and cannot be fixed automatically.

We strongly recommend that you consult our support web site at
https://enigmail.net/faq.";


The only way I found to make it work is to "killall gpg-agent" and
relaunch it with
"gpg-agent --debug-level expert --use-standard-socket --daemon /bin/sh"

I get the following message by the way:
gpg-agent[8221]: WARNING: "--use-standard-socket" is an obsolete option
- it has no effect
gpg-agent[8221]: enabled debug flags: command cache ipc
gpg-agent[8221]: listening on socket '/run/user/1000/gnupg/S.gpg-agent'
$ gpg-agent[8222]: gpg-agent (GnuPG) 2.1.15 started

If I simply relaunch gpg-agent (without "--debug-level expert
--use-standard-socket --daemon /bin/sh") Enigmail still doesn't work.

Trying to add "use-standard-socket" to $HOME/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
didn't make it (obsolete option...)

Any idea ?

Thanks

Config:
Ubuntu 16.04
Thunderbird 45.2.0
Enigmail 1.9.5
gpg 2.1.15
