Just type your password into any box that asks for it. It's the safest way. <div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 21 March 2012 11:58, Jason Irwin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jasonirwin73@gmail.com">jasonirwin73@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Thanks, I shall try this at lunch. I have already "Enigmail" installed<br>
and keys set-up but I find it a pain to use*. It also can't seem to make<br>
it's mind up if it is providing OpenPGP, GPG or S/MIME (or maybe all<br>
these are the same - I didn't find the documentation very clear).<br>
<br>
I guess the thing to do is remove everything back to a clean slate and<br>
try again.<br>
<br>

*e.g. Just now "pinentry" demanded a password. Why is the dialog not<br>
titled "Gnu Privacy passphrase entry" or something? How is a user<br>
supposed to know that "pinentry" is managed via "GNU Privacy Assistant"<br>
and relates to "OpenPGP" in the Thunderbird dialog which is provided by<br>
"Enigmail"? There's no obvious link in the names! A consistency in<br>
naming helps an end-user figure out what the heck is going on.<br>
<br>
Ooh I appear to be in a moany mood today - I shall try and cheer up<br>
before this evening!<br>
