Although the intention is to support secret keys on smartcard, there's currently no strict limitation to this scenario. If a secret key is contained in a GnuPG keyring that's stored on the computer's disk, this setup should work, too.

== Known Bugs ==
On the Windows platform, at this time the separate gpg4win distribution (which isn't affiliated with the Mozilla or Thunderbird projects) provides only a 32-bit version of the GPGME library. Therefore only the Thunderbird 32-bit Windows version can be used with it.
Using Thunderbird 64-bit will require a new 64-bit version of the GPGME library which isn't yet available.
