Description
Hi,
I'm using Thunderbird/TorBirdy/Enigmail/GPG in an Qubes OS [1] environment
with SplitGPG [2]. In this setup the keys are located on an offline VM.
Therefore the splitGPG wrapper does not support the --keyserver-options since it
makes no sense in this case.
To use TorBirdy in this Environment I have to remove
--keyserver-options no-auto-key-retrieve,no-try-dns-srv,http-proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8118
from the Enigmail advanced preferences. Since this change is not persistent
and gets overwritten by TorBirdy it would be great if you could provide
a configuration option (simple on/off checkbox) that lets the user
specify whether he is using a SplitGPG environment.
If enabled the --keyserver-options above simply gets dropped from the list of gpg parameters.
Let me know what you think about it.

Replying to sukhbir:
what would be an easy way to detect that TorBirdy is running in it?
Check if the tool qvm-run is available on the system.
We have worked around this issue for now, however it's not that great so fixing this would be appreciated.

I (reporter of this bug) am actually fine with the current fix within Qubes OS.
So this ticket shouldn't take away your resources.
I would also be fine to close this ticket.

Ok, thanks. Feel free to reopen in case there are any other issues.
(I was a bit hesitant to check if qvm-run would be available as I wanted to avoid checking for local running processes from within TorBirdy.)

Btw I was not suggesting to check for a process, but the mere existence of a binary available on the system.
Hello and sorry for delaying this and I am quite interested in adding support for Qubes. But since I don't know much about it, what would be an easy way to detect that TorBirdy is running in it?
