I used the following procedures to install Thunderbird 3.0 with the Enigmail add-on to send encrypted email. I found myself needing to do this when I upgraded Thunderbird via yum from the CentOS repository. Instead of going back to the older version, I decided move ahead since I had also had trouble with the 64 bit version of Thunderbird when using the Enigmail add-on. Also, I liked the changes made from Thunderbird 2.0 to 3.0 that I saw in Fedora. Note: I found that I needed to remove the old Enigmail add-on before upgrading. Then after following the steps below, I installed the latest Enigmail add-on.<\/p>\n

The following was installed from the rpmforge repository.
