 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.
