Using linux, Thunderbird 31.3.0, enigmail 1.8a1pre (of 2014-12-08)

I'm getting increasing numbers of emails where an enigmail alert warns that
there is an "Unverified signature, Untrusted good signature from xxxx<email
address>"  - no mention of the key id.

When I check in the Key Manager, I find that I have one or more public keys for
that person/email address.  A closer look at each key shows they have subkeys of
algorithm  keyAlgorithm_18 and/or keyAlgorithm_22.   These I take it, are ECC
types and require gnupg 2.1

One email with "Unverifed signature, Untrusted good signature", signed and not
encrypted,  which I have at hand right now, has a subkey keyAlgorithm_18 for
encryption, and a DSA 2048 for signing.  Shouldn't enigmail be able to verify a
signature made with a DSA 2048 sub-key?

Is now the time to upgrade from gnupg2 2.0.26 to 2.1 ?

Can enigmail handle ECC keys if gnupg 2.1 is installed ?
