[email protected] is not one of the user ID's Your key looks like: gpg2 --fingerprint 0x7388FD80 pub 2048R/7388FD80 2013-01-18 Key fingerprint = 36CE 2A86 53F5 AC4F 2CAD 925E 1A2A CAC4 7388 FD80 uid Alessandro Basili <[email protected]> sub 2048R/1622208F 2013-01-18 With adding an additional UID of [email protected] you could alleviate the trouble you have had. If you look at my key you can see several user ID's and etc. gpg2 --fingerprint C34B77CC pub 4096R/C34B77CC 2011-11-15 Key fingerprint = 8AD5 35EF 1FDF F1A7 E483 8CCE A50D 4E81 C34B 77CC uid LeRoy D. Cressy (15 Nov 2011) <[email protected]> uid LeRoy D. Cressy <[email protected]> uid Rev. LeRoy D. Cressy <[email protected]> uid [jpeg image of size 9529] sub 4096R/02E082A5 2011-11-15 sub 4096R/80A2E788 2012-11-20 [expires: 2014-11-20] sub 4096R/E9147D70 2012-11-20 [expires: 2014-11-20] For signing and encrypting the 2 subkeys are used until they expire when GnuPG reverts back to using the original key pair. Also when you go to a key signing party all of your UID's can be signed. When I do a job for a company I might have a temporary email address with the client which would become an additional UID instead of creating a new key pair. _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list [email protected] https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net - -- Rev.
