Hi Olav,

Many thanks for taking the time to reply. However, you seem to have
overlooked the part of my original message indicating that
enigmail.mozdev.org 0.95.3 works perfectly on the SuSE 10.3 edition of
Thunderbird, for a new user. I resolved the issue by recreating a new
~/.thunderbird directory and now Enigmail is back working perfectly for me.

Regards

Dave
