Hello,

I had Thunderbird and Enigmail happily working together for several months.
As it is installed on a eeePC 701 (Xandros), I moved the mail folder to a
Truecrypt Folder. This configuration worked well until...

Due to an improper shutdown the Truecrypt disk got corrupted (filenames
unreadable, etc.). Thunderbird was running when the TC disk was inproperly
dismounted.

I saved as many files that I could and managed to have a working
Thunderbird configuration back on the rails. But Enigmails doesn't work
anymore: GPG is not detected anymore (setting window) and (from the TB
error console) it fails to initialize GPG (normal as it can't find it). I
tried to set the path to the exe and that didn't help either.

But GPG works correctly from the command line (version and key list
display) and an other GPG enabled tool works correctly (I used the FireGPG
Thundebird plugin).

I tried uninstalling the Enigmail plugin and re-installing exactly the same
xpi I used initialy but it did'nt help.

I need some hints to where to look for. I suspect a broken config file.
Where can I see why Enigmail fails to start GPG ?

Jmm
