Thank you, that helped me. But I still think it is a bug in enigmail.
Yes I have two keys using the same email address. But only one key that
is not expired and not revoked.

This error happens if someone creates a new key and keeps the old one,
what should be a usual situation. The setting to choose the key is hard
to find.

At least you should change the error message shown by enigmail. The
current message is:

Error - encryption command failed
