[Enigmail] GnuPG-Agent on FreeBSD.

[Janky Jay, III]

Hello, everyone.

	I've been browsing all day and can't seem to figure out exactly what is
wrong so maybe someone on this list will be able to help. Sorry if this
has already been asked/covered/answered.

	I'm running Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 (20071123) with Enigmail 0.95.5
(20071124) on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE.

	After the most recent updates of Enigmail, I was no longer able to send
signed/encrypted email due to the new feature of Enigmail requiring the
gpg-agent be running. This is all fine and good (After I've figured out
how to start gpg-agent without having Enigmail start it for me and
such...). However, when I attempt to send signed/encrypted emails now
that gpg-agent is running, I get the following error(s) in the error dialog:

	Send operation aborted.

	Error - bad passphrase

	gpg command line and output:
	/usr/local/bin/gpg --charset utf8 --batch --no-tty --status-fd 2 -t
--clearsign -u <key-stuffs> --use-agent
	Warning: using insecure memory!
	gpg: problem with the agent: IPC write error
	gpg: Invalid passphrase; please try again ...
	gpg: problem with the agent: IPC write error
	gpg: skipped "<key-stuffs>": General error
	gpg: [stdin]: clearsign failed: General error

	The odd part is, sometimes sending works and sometimes it doesn't. It
seems that the first mail I attempt to send will eventually make it
through the gpg-agent. However, not before I enter my passphrase for
whatever address it happens to be coming from.

	I read on the Enigmail configuration/help page about the "I receive an
IPC error" and I'm afraid I still don't understand exactly what I must
do in order to be able to use gpg-agent with Enigmail. I've also read
online about unsetting the GPG_AGENT_INFO variable, but that doesn't
seem to do any good either. It still implies that my passphrase is bad
and does not prompt for it.

	Again, sorry for any inconvenience if this has already been covered and
thanks for any help anyone could possibly provide me.
