Hi,

Testing TB 3.0b1 with Enigmail version 0.96a (20090104-1343).
MacOSX 10.5.6.
gpg2.0.10.rc1

1. When OpenPGP/Attach My Public Key is selected, trying to send a
signed or an encrypted/signed message will display a warning:
...Sign/Encrypt failed, send unsigned/unencrypted..?

2. When OpenPGP/Attach Public Key... is enabled, and a public key is
selected from Enigmail's public keys list, sending a signed or encrypted
and signed message is successful, but the received message shows that no
public key file was attached. Enigmail does not display the expected
window with the three available options to process the attachment.
I remember from previous releases of 0.96a (I can't remember the date,
but it was a few months ago) that when selecting OpenPGP/Attach My
Public Key, the attachment didn't show in the upper right corner of the
message windows, but the attachment was included and sent, and that was
a *feature*, not a bug, of that 0.96a release.

3. When using TB's 'Attach'
- - select a public key *file* (attachment file shows in the upper right
corner of the window message)
- - choose OpenPGP/Sign

Enigmail displays what seems to be an in-line signed message (PGP
headers and footers are visible), displays also the expected window
where one can choose the three options for the attachment (sign/encrypt
message only-not the attachment, sign/encrypt attachment, use PGP/MIME)

I choose the first option, I do NOT select use PGP/MIME

The received message is displayed by TB/EM with a blue header line reading
OpenPGP: Possibly PGP/MIME encrypted or signed message; click Decrypt
button to verify.
The displayed message seems to be an in-line signed message, with PGP
headers and footers, and the attachment is there.

4. OpenPGP/Preferences, whether invoked from Menu or from
Tools/Add-ons/0.96a, shows, after 'GnuPG was found in' a string of
characters, instead of the field where the path to gpg (or gpg2) should
be displayed.
The field 'Override with [path to gpg or gpg2] is active, when the small
square button at the beginning of the line is selected, and the desired
path can be entered, linking Thunderbird to gpg or gpg2.

Other than the above, 0.96a and TB3.0b1 are functional.

Regards,
Charly
