The error message between the message body and the headers is :

        Enigmail Error - decryption failed; click on 'Details'
        button for more information.

When I click on Details and choose View Key Properties I get shown
Primary User ID, Key ID, and Fingerprint which are for the wrong key.

If I try to sign an outgoing message, I get this:

        Key 0xXXXXXXXX not found or not valid.  The (sub-)key
        might have expired.

If I go into Engimail -> Key Management -> Key properties for that key,
it shows that the key is valid and expires next year.

gpg.conf is stock, I haven't changed it.  Here are the active lines:

 $ egrep -v "^#|^$" gpg.conf
 keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net
 use-agent

 default-key  FE35B305
