It does prompt for the passphrase, no need for gpg-agent to be running. You can choose the GPG key used in Configuration->Edit Accounts->(Select Account)->Edit->Plugins->GPG. You can also create a new key there. I'm not as familiar with S/MIME, but sylpheed-claws seems to support it via "extra" plugins, either (in portage) mail-client/sylpheed-claws-smime or mail-client/sylpheed-claws-etpan-privacy. mail-client/sylpheed-claws-smime is missing an amd64 keyword, but seems to compile & work OK for me, although it does have a note "WARNING: This plugin doesn't handle sign+encrypt and encryption of multipart messages very well (yet)." and "This plugin uses the GPGME library as a wrapper for GnuPG. This plugin also needs gpgsm, gnupg-agent and dirmngr installed and configured." So that plugin is maybe not yet mature. I didn't really try the etpan-privacy plugin, as it conflicts with the standard gpg plugins (it provides both GPG & S/MIME support), but maybe it's more mature. You can load & unload the plugins you want or don't want in Configuration->Plugins. > Grr - encryption must not be ready for prime time - it considered your > message "encrypted" and consequently it wants to encrypt this reply > (rather rude on mailing lists...) :) Odd... when I click reply to my earlier message, it doesn't seem to consider it encrypted. Did you double check the Account Privacy settings to make sure it wasn't set to always encrypt messages? I can't think why it would want to encrypt the reply. Did you try changing those options in thunderbird at all? They didn't seem to do anything for me, but they are supposed to work, and I'd be interested in hearing if they work for someone other than myself. Conway S.
