As Patrick said, learning to set up the rule is the smart, and proper, option to use for this case. Even so, you could go the hard route and put the first key off this keyring onto another, spare one. Then it would be there for you if you should want to use it again for some reason, and you could manually add it back (i.e., the hard way) by importing it. You might try changing its trust value? But I can't say I have tested that result yet. _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list [email protected] https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
