Yeah.  The interaction between Thunderbird and Enigmail seems a bit flakey
at best.  I've seen it go out, then a few days later when I've got some time
to investigate, updating ports and recompiling everything (portupgrade -fR enigmail\*)
to ensure a good baseline --- well, that seems to bring it back.  I've
certainly got enigmail working with 2.0.0.12 at the moment on one machine,
and it was working fine on the other with that combo too.

	Cheers,
