 Hauke,

I have tried all this - but I still get the same errors even after restarting my laptop.
KGpg fails to start Kleopatra keeps warming me of errors and enigmail refuses to send mail
unless I force no signing force no encryption. If I try to use gpg2 in enigmail it shuts
down completely refusing to do anything.

The more I do the more it seems that I do not fix this problem. All I get is the same error
message from enigmail:

Error - key extraction command failed
/usr/bin/gpg --charset utf-8 --display-charset utf-8 --batch --no-tty --status-fd 2 -a
--export 0x8716853A
gpg: WARNING: unsafe enclosing directory permissions on configuration file
`/home/david/.gnupg/gpg.conf'
gpg: /home/david/.gnupg/gpg.conf:6: argument not expected

I'm getting brain ache!! Ha!
