Thunderbird 2.0.0.12+
Enigmail 2:0.95.0-0ubuntu4
When sending a signed or encrypted email Thunderbird hangs for several seconds then says that it cannot send the mail and asks, "Are your network settings correct?". Yes, they are! All I have to do is tell Enigmail to ignore the sign/encrypt rules and all goes through as it should. It used to ask for a password. Somewhere in the last few sets of the daily dozen updates to Hardy, it stopped asking, and now does not even ask for a password when encrypted mail is sent to me using my key. I have to manually extract and decrypt the mail using command line utilities.
