Ralf, I have had one key pair for over 20 years - for postmas...@gbenet.com I decided to create another key pair last week for my website - site-ad...@gbenet.com I set the settings to choose a key by email account select the key manually. I then sent a encrypted and signed test message from postmas...@gbenet.com to site-ad...@gbenet.com The email arrived and I could read it - I had no need to decrypt it because it was signed and encrypted to postmas...@gbenet.com I then decided to reply - it selected postmasters key but refused to sign the email - I entered the passphrase three times all by hand the same result. Puzzled by this - I decided to take the checkbox out of picking the right key for the email accounts of postmas...@gbenet.com and site-ad...@gbenet.com I decided to send just an encrypted email to postmas...@gbenet.com from site-ad...@gbenet.com "I can't find the key" even though I had selected the key - hmmmm.............. I tried then to just send a signed reeply to postma...@gbenet.com not encrypted - the dialogue box popped up to enter the passphrase for site-ad...@gbenet.com - again it refused to accept the passphrase for site-ad...@gbenet.com Oh and I created a new key pair for da...@gbenet.com which are completely useless. I tried with all three keys - the only key to work is my postmas...@gbenet.com which I've used in Thunderbird and Enigmail for over 20 years. And after each of these config changes in Enigmail and Thunderbird I shut down Thunderbird deleted all the caches and rebooted my laptop. The results were all consistent: Enigmail will only work with ONE Key. It does not recognise any other key than the first key that was created. I'd like to use my da...@gbenet.com key here - some ages ago complained I was using postmas...@gbenet.com's key to sign emails. I thought it woulld be a good idea to have a key for this email account. BUT I can not use it - I can not sign emails. You moan - but offer no solutions. I can think of only one possible solution that will work delete site-admin's key pair - delete david's key pair and go back to what Thunderbird and Enigmail are happy with one key pair from postmas...@gbenet.com To be frank your comments are just like a bad fart - then they go away. You don't think perhaps can not think - your not too smart as to offer any solution.
