You're welcome. I'm not that up on Tbird. I used it briefly a long time ago on another Gentoo box but didn't like it so I went to Pine and I did not use encryption either. The only other install has been on a windows box that I used when both my Gentoo boxes were dead. When I get my main box back up I intend to use Tbird.

Run ufed as root and see what flags there are or check the gentoo site - they have a list.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the reply.  I did find some additional information about these
that tells me I should be using Firefox and Thunderbird...
The USE flags on portage for thunderbird don't require gnupg, but I noticed
in Mozilla mail that in order to use encrypted mail, Mozilla mail wanted it.
Is there a gnupg USE flag that will emerge Thunderbird with this feature
built-in?

To me it depends on what you want/need/like.  I don't like Mozilla because
it has everything in one package.  I like to be able to use Firefox as the
browser and other programs for news and mail.

I've just completed setting up x server and gnome (why gnome - I'm a relic

gnome installs mozilla by default, which has browsing, news, and mail.
How
does this stack up against Firefox?  I've seen a lot of press about using
one or the other, but I'm trying to get a feel for why.  Is one better
suited to Gentoo than the other?
(This particular box is used primarily for business apps and remote
webserver/site tweaking when needed).

Thanks for the input.
