Thanks for the reply.  I did find some additional information about these
that tells me I should be using Firefox and Thunderbird...
The USE flags on portage for thunderbird don't require gnupg, but I noticed
in Mozilla mail that in order to use encrypted mail, Mozilla mail wanted it.
Is there a gnupg USE flag that will emerge Thunderbird with this feature
built-in?

To me it depends on what you want/need/like.  I don't like Mozilla because 
it has everything in one package.  I like to be able to use Firefox as the 
browser and other programs for news and mail.
