<h1>Upgrade Information for Enigmail 0.8x</h1>
9
<p>Enigmail v0.8x for Thunderbird has received a new user interface!
10
<b>If you are familiar with Enigmail versions prior to 0.81.0, please
11
read this information before proceeding</b>.
13
<h2>Configuring Enigmail</h2>
14
<p>Enigmail configuration is now split into two parts:</p>
16
<li>Account specific settings for PGP key ID, default encryption
19
<li>Common global preferences
22
<h3>Account Specific Settings</h3>
23
<p>The account specific settings are available through the menu <em>Tools
24
-> Account Settings</em>. For each account there is now an
25
<em>OpenPGP Security</em> list item which holds the options specific
28
<p>The PGP key settings from Enigmail v0.80.0 and earlier version are
29
<b>not</b> converted into the new per-account settings.
30
Enigmail is by default <b>disabled</b> for all accounts!
32
<h3>Common Global Preferences</h3>
33
<p>The common global settings have been cleaned up and merged into one dialog.
34
The preferences are either available through the Enigmail menu, or by clicking
35
the <em>Advanced</em> button in the Account Manager's OpenPGP Security Preferences.
37
<p>A new option has been added that enables you to turn on encryption
38
automatically if replying to an encrypted message. Note that this
39
doesn't influence the settings for message signing.
41
<h2>Composing Messages</h2>
42
<p>The behavior of Enigmail has been adapted to be more similar
43
to the behavior of S/MIME. A new OpenPGP button has been added
44
from where the encryption / signature settings can be selected.
45
The Enigmail menu does no longer serve for sending encrypted or
46
signed mails, sending isdone uniquely from the normal
47
<em>Send</em> button or the File -> Send menu. <b>It is
48
suggested that you try the new settings by sending a couple of
49
mails to yourself before you use it actively</b>, so that you
50
understand the new behavior.
52
<p>The settings for encrypting or signing a message are now visible
53
in the lower right corner of the compose window, with small icons
54
being displayed if signing or encryption is turned on.
60
<li>Enigmail is not yet capable of remembering several passwords for
61
different PGP keys. Either type in the password each time, or
62
set the same password for all keys you're using.
