You're welcome.

I do pretty much everything not handled by Enigmail when clicking Send on the
command line. Your command line problems probably were due to an out-of-date
version of GnuPG on Vista. I'm not sure where you came up with the idea that I
don't care about using the command line. In fact, I often have to lookup the GUI
steps in Enigmail when answering questions.

I didn't say I don't care about GPA, I said I don't care for its interface. The
two statements are quite different

You look to be working just fine. If you need any assistance with Enigmail, the
best place is the Enigmail list at Enigmail at mozdev.org. You don't need to
