It was the enigmail mail list which I un-subscribed too. I am currently using Mint Linux 32 bit LXDE. I don't trust and have no faith in Openpgp's ability to encrypt to predefined per-recipient rules. I have set my system to do it manually. Now I have 3 Linux Laptops. I started testing Linux distros with gpg2 - enigmail with Thunderbird - all 100 per cent Openpgp failed to initialise with pgp2 and in fact Openpgp always signed to my private key not my public key when using percipient rules. Here is a list of main Linux distros which all fail to initialise pgp2: Opensuse 12.1 12..2 11.1/4 either 32/64 bit with KDE/Gnome/LXDE Ubuntu (any flavour) KDE/Gnome/LXDE 32/64 bit Linux Mint KDE/Gnome?LXDE 32/64 bit Fedora-16 KDE/Gnome/LXDE 32/64 bit (With all official updates). With Thunderbird Enigmail/Openpgp with gpg2 your system may freeze you may not digitally sign or encrypt to someone's public key via e-mail. You may not digitally sign an e-mail whilst at the same time encrypting. Be warned - any encryption done will be to your private key and not to your public key. Enigmail may fail to initialise (gpg2). There is no compatibility in above Linux distros with Enimail/Openpgp and gpg2 - you are best advised to stick with gpg (GnuPG) 1..4.11. I have posted this info on my main page to my web site - I have tested. And tested sending people e-mails - No one to my comments seriously - even when I told Verner - he said let kgpg handle commands - why? gpg2 specific commands do not work with gpg2. Now testing with a fellow Linux user revealed that if you have both gpg 1.4.11 and gpg2 installed you don't get any problems. So I can only conclude that gpg2 is an add-on widget to gpg 1.4.11 - gpg2 only recognises gpg 1.4.11 commands. Openpgp/enigmail does not support gpg2 unless one has installed gpg 1.4.11 - but I no longer trust Openpgp/enigmail to do anything. David - -- “See the sanity of the man!
