Using Enigmail with our version of Mozilla

[Nick Hudson]

Well I have started using Mozilla mail for all my mail now that I have 
Enigmail working.  For those who dont know what enigmail is a PGP/GPG 
Encription plug in for Mozilla.  You can get more information at 
http://enigmail.mozdev.org .  Now why am I writing this?  Well if you 
have compiled Mozilla and try to install enigmail from the website you 
will run into some problems.  1st being that it doesnt work, the install 
works fine but enigmail itself doesnt work because it was compiled using 
gcc 2.91.  If you have compiled Mozilla on your Lunar box then you have 
it compiled with gcc 3.2.2. 

    Now I have made some xpi files that will install the correct 
compiled version of enigmail for you.  The rest of this email will show 
you how.

1: Compile Mozilla and make sure it runs
2: Open up Mozilla as root user
3: Go download the 2 files you need from the Lunar server
    http://www.lunar-linux.org/lunar/mirrors/nhudson/enigmail-0.74.0.xpi
    
http://www.lunar-linux.org/lunar/mirrors/nhudson/enigmime-0.74.0-linux.xpi
 
    * You might want to save them do a empty directory 
/home/user/enigmail              for example
4: Point your web browser to that directory /home/user/enigmail
5: Click on the file that says enigmail-0.74.0.xpi, make sure it 
installs ok.  If it doesnt then you have issues unknown to me at the moment.
6: Click on the 2nd and last file enigmime-0.74.0-linux.xpi, it should 
install just like the last one did.
7: Once you have both files installed restart your browser as root user 
and mae sure it registers the enigmail.js in the console. 
8: Once this happens you can open mozilla as regular user and set it up 
to use your gpg key, or create a new key to use.

I hope this helps anyone who wants to use gpg/pgp with Mozilla mail.

Thanks
