Hi David, Thank you for the help! So I went ahead and I downloaded gpa (thankfully, I didn't need to compile it. It was in my distro's repository) and installed it. I made the changes to the .conf file as suggested. When I typed 'which gpg-agent' to make sure I had agent installed it told me it was in /usr/bin/gpg-agent. When I executed it, I get the message 'gpg-agent is installed and running'. Everything looks fine. Then... When I look in my process list, I don't see gpg-agent. And when I go to Thunderbird and try to access encrypted messages, I still get Enigmail's passphrase manager instead of pinentry. Note that I've told Enigmail to use gpg-agent instead of its own manager but that makes no difference. The problem of having to enter my passphrase at every step continues. Does this look more like a problem with Enigmail than GnuPG? Understand, I am not using GPG2 but rather 1.4.11. However, it looks like I have gpg2 installed (/usr/bin/gpg2). Any other suggestions?
