[Enigmail] Enigmail asks 2 times for passphrase

[Ludwig Zins]

Hi Charly,

thanks for your quick answer.
I will try today evenning at home when I'm on my ubuntu machine.

I will check my gpg path, but I think it will be correct, because if I
use PGP-Inline there's no problem.

In the german ubuntuforums there is one user with the same problem.
But I got no response if he solved the problem.

I forgot to mention that I use ubuntu 8.04 LTS Hardy.
Maybe the problem ist solved with an dist-upgrade to 8.10 or even the
upgrade of gpg is enough, i will see.
