How about including some of the logs? The Sysadmin wizards tookm away our
occlumency powers  when a couple of the guys were caught using it during a Las
Vegas Texas Hold 'Em Poker Tournament.

Make sure 'Display expert settings' is selected in OpenPGP --> Preferences.

Then OpenPGP --> Debugging OpenPGP --> View Console.

At the very top, when you first start Thunderbird, is the initialization message:

   Initializing Enigmail service ...
   EnigmailAgentPath=C:\Progra~1\Gnu\GnuPG\gpg.exe

   enigmail> C:\Progra~1\Gnu\GnuPG\gpg.exe --version --version --batch --no-tty
   --charset utf8
   gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.8-svn4576-2007-09-02
   Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

And then at the bottom, the results of when it tried to verify a message.

   enigmail> C:\Progra~1\Gnu\GnuPG\gpg.exe --charset utf8 -u 0x18bb373a --batch
    --no-tty --status-fd 2 --keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve --keyserver

BTW, Since you're running Windows... you didn't recently "upgrade" or install
the GnuPG that ships as part of GPG4Win did you?  That has been the cause of
mysterious sudden breakages earlier this summer.

If you did, run its uninstaller, check your PATH environment variables carefully
for any trace of GnuPG and remove them[*]. Reinstall using the installer from
GnuPG.org: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32cli-1.4.7.exe

[*] GPG4Win adds a path similar to 'C:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG\pub;' to the
System PATH string. Removing '\pub' should be sufficient.
