I have a friend whose gpg key became corrupt. He created a new key, and I imported it. Then we discovered that KMail insists on trying to encrypt using the old key, even though I have changed his addressbook entry to reflect the new key.
At this point we thought it was a KMail issue, so I moved to Thunderbird for answering his mail. Signed mail in both directions is no problem. He can send an encrypted message and I can read it. The new key is fine. However, when I send an encrypted message to him we hit the rocks. In Thunderbird I have only a minimal addressbook. I set his record to use the new key for encryption, and I can't see any way that Thunderbird should know about the old key. However, the test email I sent him was signed by the RSA subkey of his old key. Can someone please explain to me how this could be happening, and what I need to do to correct it? Should I remove his old key from my keyring? If I do, I assume that I won't be able to read his older messages. Thanks Anne -- New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
