If I send and if others send, it is encrypted using the new key. It's looking more like Enigmail is trying to decrypt using the wrong key, so the subject . >> 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. > > Well, as said: You must use the key for which this message has once been > encrypted to.

I guess I should say I did not change gpg.conf manually before. Changing that line to the new key and restarting Thunderbird has no noticeable effect. I've had different problems in the past with Thunderbird every year or so, on different machines. Wiping the profile and starting over fixed those. I wonder if that would help in this case too.
