enigmail install on linux 64bit system

Hi,

I'm running Linux on a 64bit machine, I've downloaded the enigmail
extension for thunderbird 1.5.0 (enigmail-0.94.0-tb15-linux-x64.xpi).
When I go to thunderbird's extension manager, select the extension
package, and say install, it says, enigmail will be installed when
thunderbird is restarted.  When I restart the application, it asks if I
want to install the package, I say yes, it says it will be installed
when thunderbird is restarted.  If I try to upgrade or uninstall the
same thing happens.  It never appears to do anything in the interface
itself.  There are no new tool bar buttons, menu selections, nothing
like that.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Linda

How do i install the ipcpipe extension???

I built this in my mozilla build tree (make install) with no errors - 
output is attached.  But I can't seem to access it.

tried:

ipcService = Components.classes[NS_IPCSERVICE_CONTRACTID].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIIPCService);

and get the follwing error:

Error: Components.classes[NS_IPCSERVICE_CONTRACTID] has no properties
Source File: file:///usr/local/apache2/htdocs/testipc.html
Line: 32

Thanks for any help!

You can't access (priviledged) XPCOM components from HTML pages. I.e.
you have to create an extension (or install your code otherwise in
Mozilla) in order to be able to access the IPC service and most other
services offered by Mozilla.

Close TB, find the file extensions.rdf in your TB folder delete it, then
start TB. Deleting extensions.rdf forces TB to rebuild your extension list.

I failed to mention that I am not on the mailing list.
Please feel free to flame me in person.

Possibly PGP/MIME encrypted or signed message; click Decrypt button to verify

Hi,

developing on Fedora Core 6, gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.5

Not sure whether to use the forums or the mailinglist, but the forums
seem to have a longer time to be "approved", so the mailinglist it is.

I'm trying to write PGP/Mime support into my app (www.phplist.com).

I got it as far as being validated by Evolution to have a valid
signature (to start with), but Enigma continues to ignore the signing.
Interestingly enough, if I set "automatically encrypt/verify", the
message displays as normal, as if it hadn't been sent as PGP/Mime, but
simply as some multipart mime message. (Tried attachments, inline etc),
so it's basically completely ignoring the multipart/signed bit of the
message.

If I don't set automatically verify message, I get the message as in the
subject. There is however no "Decrypt" button to be seen anywhere.

I played around with the dreaded line endings, and it seems at least
Evolution accepts things, as long as it's \r\n. The RFC does explicitly
state it needs to be \r\n, so that's it for line endings.

My hunch is, that it doesn't get validated on just the one extra \r\n,
one extra space or some silly thing like that. So the question is,

in the application/pgp-signature; bit, is there anything that needs to
be specific for enigmail to accept it. I've tried quite a few different
options in encoding, line endings, and whatever else, but I can't seem
to find it.

There's the extra line in http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3156.txt that seems
weird,

content
-- empty line
- boundary

so it must be something like that.

Before diving into the enigma code, anyone able to shine a light on this?

Problems after reinstalling Enigmail

I had to reinstall Enigmail (problem not related) on Thunderbird 
(Version 1.5.xxx) and generate a new key.  Everything was great till I 
had to do this.  Now the key generates okay, but it can't make a 
revocation certificate.  Also, when I try to encrypt an email, it fails 
and says "Bad pass phrase" and other things that I don't understand.  
I've tried uninstalling everything, but the problem continues. I get the 
feeling there's a registry entry or something that I need to get rid 
of....  I am running Windows98SE.  Can you help me?

Re: Problems after reinstalling Enigmail

Hi Steve,

> I had to reinstall on Thunderbird 1.5.x and generate a new key.

What did you reinstall: Thunderbird or just Enigmail? What was the
reason for reinstallation? If we knew, we might be able to give more
helpful thoughts.

But even if you had to reinstall some software -- why did you throw
away your old keys??? Have they been compromised? Otherwise this is
neither necessary nor advisable!

What errors do occur? Do you try to create a rev cert using Enigmail
or the gpg command directly from cmd? Have you set "No passphrase" in
Enigmail?

Enigmail doesn't use any registry entry. All settings reside in
prefs.js in your Thunderbird profile directory.
See http://enigmail.mozdev.org/userprefs.html for details.
