Binary package hint: gnupg
1) System > Preferences > Encryption and Keyrings
2) Select PGP Passphrases tab.
3) Select 'Never remember passphrases' radio-button.
4) Check 'Show icon in status area when passphrases are in memory' check-box.
5) Use Engimail with thunderbird.
6) Send an e-mail that is signed/encrypted.
a) thunderbird/enigmail/gnupg asks for passphrase to unlock key.
b) thunderbird/enigmail/gnupg asks for passphrase to unlock key (yes a
second time, filing bug with enigmail...unless it's gnupg's fault?)
Expect: The notification icon to not show up, since the passphrase is
not being stored.
What happens instead: Icon shows up in notification area, implying that
a passphrase is stored; however, it is not. [It's still there at least
30 minutes after sending the e-mail.] Further uses of my key require me
to enter my passphrase, proving that it is not stored.
