Two years back I had big problems with crashes of Thunderbird 2 because of Enigmail 0.9 when I was switching from Tiger to Leopard. I had to stop using Enigmail completely.
About Enigmail 1.1.2 on Thunderbird 3.1.2 and Snow Leopard I can only say good things. It works fine, no crashes anymore. Excellent tool.
The bad thing is, no one is using encryption nowadays! Even worst, most people using web mail. Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo. They don't even know email programs. Strange times! Or I'm growing old.
Since my upgrade from Tiger 10.4.11 to Leopard 10.5.2 Enigmail 0.95.6 freezes my Thunderbird 2.0.0.12 all the time when hitting Reply. And those mails are text-only and without any encryption.
On Tiger no problem at all, Enigmail runs perfectly. On Leopard PGP/GPG with Enigmail becomes unusable. Beware switchers!
This problem is already known in the Enigmail web forums. I hope there will be a solution soon.
This problem might only occur if you are running a PowerPC Mac, although I heard otherwise. A friend of mine with an Intel Mac has no problems at all.
