Hi,
I have a pgp-agent running on my computer. But I'd like not use
pgp-agent in thunderbird.
So I left preference extensions.enigmail.useGpgAgent to false.
But I cannot send signed mails anymore (Enigmail does not prompt me for
my passphrase, but I still get the error "bad passphrase")
In Enigmail.prototype.useGpgAgent, there is:
try {
useAgent= (this.gpgAgentInfo.envStr.length>0 || this.prefBranch.getBoolPref("useGpgAgent"));
}
So it looks like enigmail tries to use gpg-agent if there is an agent
running *or* if useGpgAgent is true. I think it's a bug (it should be
*and*, but I'm not totally sure (may be there is something I
misunderstood in Enigmail).
Anyway, I changed those lines to:
try {
useAgent= (this.gpgAgentInfo.envStr.length>0 && this.prefBranch.getBoolPref("useGpgAgent"));
}
and it suits my needs.
arno.
