That led to the solution.

Thanks again to all who answered or thought about it.  It turns out the
problem was in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf  When this account lived on
another machine, I had been dual booting with OS X and Ubuntu 14.04  The
settings in gpg-agent.conf were for OS X and the earlier versions of
Engimail on Ubuntu were fine with that.  The contents were:

default-cache-ttl 300
max-cache-ttl 999999pinentry-program
/usr/local/MacGPG2/libexec/pinentry-mac.app/Contents/MacOS/pinentry-mac
pinentry-program
/usr/local/MacGPG2/libexec/pinentry-mac.app/Contents/MacOS/pinentry-mac

It was probably that last line causing the problem.

Simply moving the file away solved the current problem.  If I go back to
dual booting (unlikely) in the future, I will have to solve anpther
problem.

Regards
Lars
