Disable Passphrase-Cache

Hi,

I've a litte question:

I want to disable the Passphrase-Cache in Enigmail.

I need this, because I've blocked my smartcard 3 times. When I enter an 
incorrect Passphrase, Enigmail retries the encryption.
So it can happen that the smartcard is blocked and I need the Super-PIN, 
that is not here in my house...

I've tried to enter "0" minutes, but Enigmail caches the passphrase.

Thanks!

Bye,
Sebastian

You should activate the option "No passphrase for user" just below the
time setting.

Do take your time. Could you CC me when you got it ready? Im reading
the mailinglist not that often right now.

Take a look at http://enigmail.mozdev.org/nightly.html. EM nightlies for
TB trunk will show up again when Patrick is ready.

Re: Firefox Extension?

It has been asked so many times, but now it is there.
Two guys in France developed a GnuPG extension for Firefox.
http://firegpg.tuxfamily.org/
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/4645

It's still beta but it is already quite usable.
In addition to a some things in the context menu, the have made a really
nice integration in GMail.

Cheers, Jan

For SM that holds true, as automatic updates are not working til 1.5...
But: Isnt there a possibility to have addons automatically checked for
updates within TB/FF? If EM would be integrated, would it be checked?

1. It wont do harm, as long as there are no "GPG not found" messages
appearing, but AFAIK disabling the "automtic check/decrypt" should be
enough.

2. For FF/TB the need to get it integrated is not as bad as for SM.
While FF/TB can (IIRC) install EM into the profile, this does not work
in SM. So if you are sitting in an internet cafe/at university/...
where SM is installed, and EM is not, you wont get it working.
Although you might not get it working if gpg is not installed, but
that is another issue. You could unzip gpg into your profile, and
point EM to it, or find any other way.

Perhaps there could be an extension for the extension 
No, in fact I think this /is/ a useful tool for normal user. Especially
novices should go to a keysigning party and then it should be as easy
and error proof as it can be for them so sign the keys.
I know that /I/ sent out a bunch of keys without any signature on them
after my first KSP.
