Thunderbird / Enigmail not asking for a password

[Kenneth Loafman]

Hi,

Somewhere in the last set of the daily dozen updates on Hardy, 
Thunderbird and/or Enigmail have stopped asking for my passphrase and 
refuse to sign or encrypt email.  This has slowed down my communications 
greatly.  If I try to send email that needs to be signed, Thunderbird 
just sits there for a long time and then asks if my network setting are 
correct (not the right error message at all).  I have to tell it to turn 
off the rules and send it unsigned.  Ditto with encryption.  At no time 
does it ask for the passphrase like it should, and like it did.

I have reported a bug, but I'm wondering if anyone has a workaround that 
they would share.

...Thanks,
...Ken
