    Take a look at : http://www.jwsdot.com/debian/faq.html#q4a. Usually that instruction helps, but be aware that you might need to reinstall some
    manual installed extensions.

    Looking into this further, I have done another new install of
    thunderbird & enigmail. I now see that both installs are missing the /"Tools>Account Settings>OpenPGP security" entry in the left hand
    column entirely!

    That explains why I can not find anywhere to control or access the keyrings.

    In addition, when I go to enigmail>generate keys I get "Error in
    accessing Enigmail service"


    I am installing the current deb for both /thunderbird (0.7.3) & enigmail
    (0.85) as well as using GnuPG 1.2.5 which is part of the standard MEPIS install.

    /I'm guessing the problem is with the install of enigmail as gpg is
    working fine in kgpg & kmail; and since thunderbird is fine without
    encryption. (even though //enigmail is returning results=0 on install)/
    /

    Thanks,

    Lance

    That solved it! Thank you!

    I sure don't know why I had this problem on what was essentially a new install--there shouldn't have been anything there to interfere with.

    Very nice FAQ by the way! Now all we need to do is staple it to someone's forehead over at mozilla.org--right next to all the messages from the users screaming at the firefox/thunderbird developers to put a 'default browser' drop-down in thunderbird & a 'default email client' drop-down in firefox.
    ;-)

    Thanks again,

    Lance
