Bug Description

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Ubuntu 8.04, Thunderbird 2.0.0.14, Enigmail 0.95.6

This only started occurring after upgrading to 8.04. I have to re-enter, by typing, my private key passphrase for each individual email. Under passphrase setting on Enigmail I have it set to:

"Remember passphrase for 180 minutes of idle time"

Enigmail is not remembering the passphrase at all, hence having to re-enter passphrase for each email. The 180 minutes setting (in this case) is not working and neither will any other figure.
