[Enigmail] Enigmail on Ubuntu 9.04

[Lachezar Dobrev]

  I found out, that integrating with Ubuntu is the better option.
  1. In the User Settings open the Encryption/Keyring options (sorry,
using non-English interface)
  2. Choose there to remember the password for let's say 300 seconds
(5 minutes).
  3. Un-check the 'Ask before using remembered...'
  4. In Thunderbird open Enigmail's settings.
  5. Turn on the 'Do not ask for any passphrase'.
  6. Turn on the 'Display expert settings'
  7. Select OK.
  8. Open Engimail settings again.
  9. Go to Advanced tab.
 10. Turn on 'Use gpg-agent for passphrases'.

  A defect occurs, if you have visual effects turned on: when the
password question pop-up occurs it is often displayed behind the
Enigmail window, but has focus.
