[Enigmail] Setting which Hash Algorithm

[Charly Avital]

Hi,

In prefs.js, it is possible to edit the line:

'user_pref("extensions.enigmail.mimeHashAlgorithm",[digit]);'

What is the result of changing the digit (0, 1, 2, 3)?


I would like Enigmail to use the digest-algo  [value] I set in gpg.conf.

I have now digit 3, and it *seems* (I stress *seems*) that Enigmail is
using, by default, SHA256, in spite of the fact that I have set in gpg.conf
digest-algo SHA1.

For test purposes, I'd like to be able to force Enigmail to use SHA1,
because SHA256 is not accepted when I use an OpenPGP card (SMC 331 USB
card reader), e.g. when signing an e-mail.

I have read a post by John W. Moore III, indicating that setting that
digit to 0 (zero) will make Enigmail honor gpg.conf settings.

In a different MUA+plugin configuration, Apple's Mail+GPGMail.bundle d53
works correctly. When asking to sign a message, the pinentry-mac that is
invoked requests the PIN (not the passphrase).

Thanks in advance,
Charly
