hello dear linux expertsve
good day. well todoay i have a question regarding an application - tbird in combination with enigmail. currently it does not work - although i have all passwd and gpg-keys here with me. but i damaged something with the profiles - during the upgrade of opensuse.
since i have not managed to rework the tbird / enigmail issues that arised after update from opensuse 12.3 to 13.1
i need a nother way to read my mails
note - i have the keys - is there any appropiate way to read the mails with a tray or any other tool
a quick and dirty way to read the messages from one (important) mail recipient </ author…
note - is KGpg a tool that offers a tray to do such things
or can i read the mail with the terminal!`
look forward to hear from you
greetings
update; note - i found such a explanation here - it does not work:
https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/Support/KB/Docs/PGPShellCommands
When saving a message to a file it’s good practice to add the ‘.asc’ extension. Once the file has been successfully saved you can decrypt it using PGP. To do this just type: pgp filename.asc.
EXAMPLE: % pgp message.asc ---> Will produce a readable copy.
Well this does not work - what should i do!?!

Maybe you should verify if you have packages from the old version lying
around.
rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{INSTALLTIME} %{INSTALLTIME:day} \
%{BUILDTIME:day} %-30{NAME} %15{VERSION}-%-7{RELEASE} %{arch} \
%25{VENDOR}%25{PACKAGER} == %{DISTRIBUTION} %{DISTTAG}
" \
| sort | cut --fields="2-" | tee rpmlist | less -S
This will produce a list of packages, the older above. One of the fields
is the the distribution version.

The command given should work for classic PGP mail. But it likely won’t work with PGP-MIME. Your best bet is to get thunderbird working. Or “kmail” or “evolution” or “claws-mail” should be able to do it, but there would be a learning curve.
You can also use “mutt”, though it might take a bit of effort setting up a suitable “.muttrc”.
When thunderbird is not running, try:
cd
mv .thunderbird OLD.thunderbird
Then start thunderbird and set it up afresh. See if you can get it working that way. Then I think there’s a way of importing the saved mail from the old folder.

What fails? When you say such things please post the command as you try
it and the results, inside a single “code tags” block, so that we get a
clue.
Are you sure you have the program “pgp”? I don’t, it is not available on
our repos (it is closed source, I believe). I have instead gpg2, and it
works. I just tried it. The extension .eml, the default for thunderbird,
works fine.
By the way: please do not use “PHP code” tags, use plain code tags instead.
