No, this requirement will not start the "You must use the packaged version" case again. This will get into a "either use the packaged version or install gpg2". > So user convenience/benefit/etc. aside, is the Enigmail team ready > to take on the support cost of what you propose?

The rush of support for a not working gpg-agent (especially on Linux) has declined really significantly, both here and on gpg-users. I think the distributions now do a very good job in implementing this right. Concerning user base: We've 51% windows and 7% Mac OS users, both of which have a very good working gpg2 packages with installers working out of the box (and will be installed by the setup wizard). The remaining 42% Linux users can be said "apt-get gpg2" and it will work. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/enigmail/statistics/? last=365 I don't think the support for linux users to install gpg2 will overwhelm us. That said, the call for support is more for our forum at sourceforge (https://sourceforge.net/p/enigmail/forum/support/) than for the mailing list here which has a great support from willing and skilled people.
