Alexander, I applied the patch, built, and installed enigmail.
Now, when I put the cursor on an encrypted message in Icedove, a Mozilla-style dialog box pops up requesting the passphrase. Excellent! This is the same behaviour as before the upgrade from Etch. I further checked by editing the line back into .gnupg/gpg.conf that caused the trouble in the first place, i.e.: gpg-agent-info /home/jack/.gnome2/seahorse-5HDGLT/S.gpg-agent:12517:1 Again, when opening an encrypted message I got the Mozilla-style dialog box requesting the passphrase. If this patch had been in Engimail when I upgraded to Lenny, Enigmail would have worked. I consider the bug to be resolved.
