Multiple Comment lines


Being very new at this, I'm about to ask a 'newbie' question. Is it
possible to add multiple comment lines in a signature? I've received a
number of emails which have included up to 3 separate comment lines
containing such things as website url, email address to send to for
receiving the sender's Public Key, etc. If this is possible in Enigmail,
would someone be kind enough to explain how?

Very many thanks,

The usual method is to add them to Your gpg.conf File.  They are
preceded with the single word 'comment' as in:

comment Public Key at:  http://tinyurl.com/8cpho

My understanding is that the gpg.conf File is explained within Our
Documentation but should You prefer please feel free to contact Me
directly.  :)

Multiple Comment Lines


Hi,

I'm using Portable Thunderbird with Enigmail on a flash drive and am
wondering if it is possible to add multiple Comment lines. I have
already found where you can add "Additional parameters for GNuPG" but
am wondering if it is possible to add more than one Comment line
there. If so, precisely how does one do that?

Many thanks,
Taistealaiche

Adding them as part of "Additional parameters for GnuPG" is probably the
most painful way of doing this.

You need to find the copy of GnuPG that Portable TB is using.
OpenPGP --> About will tell you this. In the same directory, create a
text file named gpg.conf.  Place your multiple comment lines in this
file. For example:

comment "When cryptography is outlawed, bayl bhgynjf jvyy unir cevinpl!"
comment "Be part of the £33† ECHELON -- Use Strong Encryption."
comment "It's YOUR right - for the time being."

Comment lines which are too long will wrap and break your signatures

I did that but without result. It's very probably me doing something
wrong. Does Thunderbird's Enigmail need to be pointed to that file
somehow?

D'OH! See what working outside in 40° heat does.

Move the file to the same directory as your key ring files. Searching
for pubring.gpg will find the folder for you.

Looks like that worked!

Enigmail v0.96 Beta Released



I have created a beta version of Enigmail v0.96 for Thunderbird 2.0.x
and SeaMonkey 1.1.x. The release has several new features and
enhancements, and contains a lot of fixed bugs. In particular, I tried
to address all known bugs that can be fixed without rewriting major
parts of Enigmail or Thunderbird.

The (unsigned) beta release can be found here, I expect to create an
official v0.96 release in 1-2 weeks:
<http://mozilla-enigmail.org/download/release/0.96b/>

Unfortunately, the release still lacks several language packs, in
particular:
Chinese (traditional and simplified)
Czech
Dutch
Finnish
French
Greek
Hungarian
Korean
Norwegian
Romanian
Slovak
Spanish (es-AR and es-ES)
Turkish

For all the languages above, any new texts will be displayed in English.
If you volunteer to translate the new and changes texts, then please
contact me!

Hi,
MacOS 10.5.7-MacBook Intel C2Duo MacGPG 2.0.12 TB 2.0.0.21

downloaded and installed 'enigmail-0.96b3-tb+sm.xpi'.

Using the Wizard, at the completion of the process, I got a warning
"couldn't find gpg-agent needed for your 2.0.12". I couldn't launch
OpenPGP Preferences, neither from the Menu, nor from Tools.

After launching the Wizard, choose the Manual installation, which
apparently completed. After quitting and relaunching TB, couldn't open
"About OpenPGP", nor Preferences (from the Menu, from Tools).

I also downloaded the source code, but couldn't find a way to compile it.
The usual process, cd to the archive, then ./configure does not work,
because there's no 'configure' component in the source code.
I tried to do something with Xcode, but no success.

I am back to 0.95.7

For GnuPG v2.0.x gpg-agent (or something similar) is mandatory -- but
that's not changed since Enigmail v0.95.7. It's a requirement by GnuPG,
that Enigmail can't overcome. If no gpg-agent is already running, then
it must be installed in the same directory as gpg itself.
