 hi

 i use Thunderbird with a portable install of gpg, torbirdy and enigmail
 when using windows

 when i load privoxy, vidalia, then thunderbird, i attempt to search/import
 keys in thunderbird but they are never found even though they exist.
 Privoxy is already setup to forward socks5 to vidalia, etc. thunderbird
 has the .onion keyserver set, which i could not change when i checked
 about.config

 also, i have already torified cygwin and GPA - they work fine with privoxy
 and vidalia HOWEVER the keyserver is a non-onion and when i try to use a
 .onion address it never works. Below is the 503 error from cygwin when
 searching keys using a .onion server:

 $ gpg --search-keys blah

 gpg: key "blah" not found on keyserver

 So, how do i search keys from Thunderbird, GPA and cygwin using .onion
 keyservers ?

 This i dont believe is a torbirdy specific issue per se

 cheers for the software and any advice
