I am using Thunderbird, I installed Enigmail from the
Firefox/Thunderbird extensions site a while back, it installed without
problems, then recently, I followed the tutorial at:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/UsingGpg/CreatingKeys

to create the keys, I choose OpenPGP > Sign Message the menu in
"Compose" it let me select key I'd just created and away it went.

I'm using TB 1.5 on FC5.
