Hello,
opensuse 42.1
gnome 3.16.2
thunderbird 38.6.0
enigmail 1.9 (20160223-1641)
gpg 2.0.24

A recent error that has occurred while sending mail:

2016-03-01 11:37:48.420 [DEBUG] errorHandling.jsm: parseErrorOutputWith: statusFlags = 00400000
2016-03-01 11:37:48.420 [DEBUG] errorHandling.jsm: parseErrorOutputWith: return with c.errorMsg = gpg: WARNING: The GNOME keyring manager hijacked the GnuPG agent.
gpg: WARNING: GnuPG will not work properly - please configure that tool to not interfere with the GnuPG system!

After searching for solutions, the most common was to disable . It did not make any difference, either after logging out/in or re-booting.

How do I configure Gnome keyring manager? Or Enigmail to play nicely?

I reverted to Enigmail 1.8.2. It works as expected.
