Re: [Enigmail] Enigmail GNOME keyring handling

Patrick deserves all the credit; the rest of us just try to help him 
with the load of questions.  :)  Which is hard, given that he usually 
beats us to answering them!

Nope.  :)

GnuPG is the one popping up those passphrase dialogs, not Enigmail.  
We've got nothing to do with it.  We never touch your keyring.  Although 
I think your feature request is pretty reasonable, it's also beyond 
Enigmail's scope.  Perhaps ask on GnuPG-Users, or on a GNOME mailing 
list?
