I'm using Thunderbird 1.5 and Enigmail 0.94.  The transition to TB 1.5
did introduce some problems with speed and stability, though the last
update fixed all the issues I was having.

A new version of Enigmail is underway.  Patrick (lead developer) fixed
some things, and is working on clearing up a few more.  Discussions are
ongoing, but I'd say 0.95 should be along in a month or so.

This would be *very* useful.

The best starting point for this would be here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openpgp

The RFC that provides the foundation for OpenPGP is here:
