Likely the key is not widely used. A widely spread public key is not a problem. You can always write back to the sender asking to use your new key. Quite nasty, however, is when you have valuable material (old mails, old backups etc.) encrypted with your old key and cannot decrypt it any more. > Since losing the private key doesn't seem very infrequent I guess > that exporting it to a file and back it up somewhere in a safe > place should be recommendable. It is strongly recommended. Even a backup of the private key on paper is possible and recommended, see http://www.jabberwocky.com/software/paperkey/ To come back to Enigmail: Version 1.5 is suffering from bug which probably made your signature invalid (https://sourceforge.net/p/enigmail/bugs/106/). This bug has been fixed in the latest nightly builds.
