No longer decrypting/verifying

Hi,

I had Enigmail (TB 2.0.0.6, EM 0.95.3, XP SP2) working fine for a
while.  Now I get the following:

- When I have Automatically Decrypt/Verify Messages checked, EM appears
not to recognize PGP signed or encrypted messages
- When I have Automatically Decrypt/Verify Messages unchecked, the blue
message ("Possibly PGP/MIME encrypted or signed message; click Decrypt
button to verify") appears.  When I choose Decrypt/Verify, nothing
happens, except what looks like a refresh or reload of the message pane
- I am never asked for my passphrase anymore (Passphrase settings are 5
mins/Never ask... unchecked)

Other info:
- My own keypair, plus the one public key I've imported appear to be intact
- In the console and log I don't see anything that looks like an error
or warning
- Other add-ons: GMailUI, Lightning, MinimizeToTray, Provider for Google
Calendar, QuoteCollapse, Talkback, TB QuickMove Extension.  Enigmail was
the last one I added.
- enigerr.txt was created but is empty

How do I fix this, or what should I look for in the logs?

Thanks,
Becca

Also, I am able to decrypt/verify with GnuPG via the command line.

You should check for the file enigdbug.txt, not enigerr.txt

Can you try to see what happens if you disable all other extensions? For

How about including some of the logs? The Sysadmin wizards tookm away our
occlumency powers  when a couple of the guys were caught using it during a Las
Vegas Texas Hold 'Em Poker Tournament.

Make sure 'Display expert settings' is selected in OpenPGP --> Preferences.

Then OpenPGP --> Debugging OpenPGP --> View Console.

At the very top, when you first start Thunderbird, is the initialization message:

How to use different hash from sha-1

Hello everybody
I am running version 0.95.3 (20070802) and I would use sha-2 for *a
specified key*. How can I do that?

I have been browsing all menus and intefaces of enigmail....I found nothing.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

I believe this a GnuPG issue, not Enigmail's, but here are some suggestions.

1. The specified key that you want to enable SHA2 for should be larger
than 1024 bits. The "standard" or "old style" DSA key (primary) is 1024
bits by default.

2. From gpg man:
--enable-dsa2

Enables new-style  DSA keys which (unlike the old style) may be
larger than 1024  bit  and  use  hashes  other  than  SHA-1  and
RIPEMD/160.  Note that very few programs currently support these
keys and signatures from them.

3. If the key you want to enable is a standard DSA key, 1024 bits, you
could do the following:
add a signing subkey that is larger than 1024 bits:
--edit-key [key ID], then add-key (you will be prompted to enter the

GnuPG 1.4.7 and Win Vista - workaround to contact key servers

Hi,

today I've found a german blog article with a workaround to solve the
win vista problem when (up-)loading keys to/from key servers:

http://www.gierds.de/serendipity/index.php?/archives/96-GnuPG-vs.-Windows-Vista.html

The workaround is to rename "pgpkeys_hkp.exe" to "pgpkeys_curl.exe"
(backup the original files!).

I think you mean gpgkeys...exe

Did you try this solution first?
http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2007-March/030595.html That
solution was ready for testing about a week after 1.4.7 was released.

I think the solution in the link you sent is very dependent upon the URL of the
keyserver as which keyserver helper called is a function of the keyserver URL.
It also predates the release of 1.4.7.

Have you reported the problem you are experiencing to the GnuPG-Users list so
that the developers may make certain the problem won't be around in 1.4.8?

Lots of Vista related posts on the GnuPG Users list in February and March.

Ups, you're right I meant gpgkeys...exe.

Ah okay, this is working, too. Thanks

Installing Enigmail with a different language version

Hello

In the past I have often had problems with installing Enigmail and its
language pack with a Mozilla or SeaMonkey version in a different language.
But I finally found a way to do it reliably every time, so I thought I
would publish it - because official recommendations don't always work.
I have only tried it for the French version but (as a programmer myself)
I don't see why it shouldn't work for any other language (provided the
same rules have been respected):

--------
1. uninstall the previous version of Mozilla/SeaMonkey
   and delete everything which may remain in the program folder.
	 (Personal parametres and data will be perfectly conserved.)
2. install the new [French] localised version.
3. install the English language pack.xpi - then restart and select
English as the display and content language - restart again.
4. install Enigmail and its French language pack - then restart
   (check that 'Open PGP' is correctly displayed in the mail menus - in
English).
6. now select French as the display/content language - then restart once
again.
7. now Enigmail should work perfectly (in French)
---------

HTH

Christophe
