when you say "it used to be", what version of enigmail were you using at
the time?  if you've recently changed versions of enigmail, you might be
able to recover that information from /var/log/dpkg.log.

What "decrypt" button were you clicking on?  Is it still showing up?

hm, i'm not sure what this means.  do you have multiple accounts
configured?  are you looking at icedove's aggregate inbox, or at an
inbox from a single account?

What version of icedove are you using?

i've tested and i think i can replicate what you're seeing in 1.6 as
well.  I've just asked about it on the upstream mailing list to see if
we can figure out what the issue is.
