"avoid Enigmail" sounds a bit odd, given that Thunderbird/Icedove is a
very commonly used client and Enigmail -- as far as I know -- the de
facto standard extension for PGP for Thunderbird.
Could you elaborate a bit on the problems of using Enigmail? In the
quoted blog post I read something about Thunderbird inserting spurious
line breaks into signed mails. That might have something to do with
the "format=flowed"-issue in the mail headers. But as far as I know
this option is disabled by default in Icedove.

Bastian
