If the mail has been signed, you have 3 ways to be offered some options for the sender's key : 1. from the 'Details' button in the message header 2. from the menu bar Enigmail/ Sender's key/ 3. from the strange little icon (3 small horizontal bars) on the right hand end of Thunderbird's Mail Toolbar. It is this latter which gives most often defective options. If there is no PhotoID with the key concerned, the PhotoID option is not greyed out, clicking it does however provide the message that no such id is available. If the message has not been signed at all, the Details button of course is not present and the other two ways still provide a range of options. The menu bar Enigmail/Senders key/ provides four options not greyed out (only the photoID is greyed out). Whether any response is received from clicking on any of these items depends on whether the message is 'stand-alone' or a reply within a thread. If within a thread, clicking on 'View key properties' can produce the details of a key from another thread message higher up in the chain (even though there appears no quote from that message). The 'funny icon' /Enigmail/Sender's key/ provides all five options (not greyed out). Some do nothing, some attempt an action on a key higher up in the chain, the photoID option may show an image from higher up or do nothing. The most common of these is the offer to check a non-existant photoid in the senders key options from the message toolbar icon. The other incoherent offerings seem to be connected with unsigned messages inside a thread containing some signed messages. You can find instances in this thread. Best regards, Philip
