When I use Enigmail to decrypt messages made with "--throw-keyids", I have noticed that it will select the keys to try one-by-one until I have entered the correct passphrase or until it has tried them all. However, I ran into a situation with a new key on my keyring that is getting skipped over during the sequence of selections. I looked for any obvious characteristic differences and noticed in OpenPGP Key Management window that this key has been made with a different algorithm from my others. The primary key uses DSA and the subkey ELG. In contrast, the algorithm for my other keys, both primary key and subkey, is RSA. I am not sure that this explains the different behavior during the trial and error selection process, but it is something I am curious about. Any ideas about it would be welcome.
