[gentoo-user] OT - mozilla-thunderbird; how do I get rid of pgp?

[Michael Sullivan]

My wife uses thunderbird as her email client.  Every time she tries to
send an email, she is asked to input a passphrase to encrypt the mail.
Because of this, she rarely sends email.  I wish to get rid of it.  I
tried unchecking the Use OpenPGP box and clicking okay, but it still
asks for the passphrase.  I remerged the package with -crypt, but it's
still asking for that stupid passphrase.  Here's the emerge info:

catherine mom # emerge -pv mozilla-thunderbird

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

[ebuild   R   ] mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-2.0.0.22  USE="ipv6

How do I get it to send mail without the passphrase???

My wife has two email accounts in Thunderbird and I didn't realize that
I was disabling PGP for the wrong one...
