This is an interesting question that reminds me of several situations in
fiction I have read and no doubt comes up in real live.  The
pre-arranged signal is an optimal solution.  
A more interesting question is, can this be done without any prearranged
signal?  
I think so, but there introduces some risk of misinterpretation.  It
requires that both the sender and the receiver share knowledge that the
adversary does not have.  An example would be referring to a fact (such
as a previous event between the senders) that did not take place, and
about which neither of you is likely to be mistaken, but which the
adversary can not know did not take place.  The adversary will not be
suspicious if the reference is mundane and plausible. It would help if
the receiver of the message, however, is privy to the possibility of the
sender's duress, thus having received the message, would think the error

This is not an interesting question.  For any message you receive, flip
a coin.  If it's "heads", then you assume it's coerced.  Over the long
run, sooner or later this (absurd!) coercion detection device will
correctly flag a coerced statement, indicating that it's possible.

The question should be "can it be done _reliably_," and the answer is
"unfortunately, no."  See below.

Militaries know from long, bitter experience that people overwhelmingly
_do not think_ in a crisis situation.  It's almost as if people are
allergic to thinking.  They tend to run on autopilot.  This is why
military basic training drills things into you again and again and
again.  When you hear a gunshot, you dive for cover.  You don't ask
questions, you don't worry about whether you're in dress blues or tennis
shoes, you don't worry about whether you're tackling concrete or mud.
Gunshot?  DIVE.  Uniform, ours?  HOLD FIRE.  Not ours?  SHOOT.  When the
bullets start flying, soldiers spend a lot of time "on autopilot," just
going through these drills they've done thousands of times before.

The moral of the story: when someone has a gun to your head and is
telling you to have Alice meet you down at the pier in an hour, you will

Enigmail stopped working - not on update

After restarting my computer enigmail no longer works.  I get an error
message "enigmime service unavailable".  I tried setting the location of
gpg to /usr/local/bin/.  I also tried installing the extension.   I did
not update Thunderbird.
I am running version 2.0.17

this error typically shows up when you installed an enigmail
package that doesn't match your Mozilla / Thunderbird. It
needs to match your OS - and the compiler TB was built with.

You composed your question using Thunderbird on FreeBSD i386.
Is this where you encountered your problem? If so, please
consider compiling (and contributing) a *recent* Enigmail package.

This has nothing to do with the above error.

> I also tried installing the extension.

*un*installing? Should be possible through Extras -> Addons,
<Enigmail> -> Uninstall.

Enigmail not detecting/enabling GPG anymore

Hello,

I had Thunderbird and Enigmail happily working together for several months.
As it is installed on a eeePC 701 (Xandros), I moved the mail folder to a
Truecrypt Folder. This configuration worked well until...

Due to an improper shutdown the Truecrypt disk got corrupted (filenames
unreadable, etc.). Thunderbird was running when the TC disk was inproperly
dismounted.

I saved as many files that I could and managed to have a working
Thunderbird configuration back on the rails. But Enigmails doesn't work
anymore: GPG is not detected anymore (setting window) and (from the TB
error console) it fails to initialize GPG (normal as it can't find it). I
tried to set the path to the exe and that didn't help either.

But GPG works correctly from the command line (version and key list
display) and an other GPG enabled tool works correctly (I used the FireGPG
Thundebird plugin).

I tried uninstalling the Enigmail plugin and re-installing exactly the same
xpi I used initialy but it did'nt help.

I need some hints to where to look for. I suspect a broken config file.
Where can I see why Enigmail fails to start GPG ?

I would be glad to.  Can you point me to a guide.
