+If Enigmail seems to freeze, open an xterm and follow instructions below:
+If you get this:
+<code>
+[juckins@metroliner: ~]$ gpg-agent
+gpg-agent[18835]: can't connect to `/home/juckins/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent': No such file or directory
+gpg-agent: no gpg-agent running in this session
+</code>
+Then follow tip on http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-642131-highlight-gpgagent.html
+<code>
+juckins@metroliner: ~/.gnupg]$ eval 'gpg-agent --daemon --use-standard-socket'
+GPG_AGENT_INFO=/home/juckins/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent:18933:1; export GPG_AGENT_INFO;
+[juckins@metroliner: ~/.gnupg]$ gpg-agent
+gpg-agent: gpg-agent running and available
+</code>
+If that all works properly, then edit .bash_profile like this:
+<code>
+# start gpg-agent (for Thunderbird Enigmail)
+eval 'gpg-agent --daemon --use-standard-socket 2>/dev/null'
+</code>
