Hi Ludwig,

> Enigmail currently cannot import expired keys.

good to know but bad that there is no error message at all.

But actually I tried to import your public key. I took it from
http://www.hammernoch.net/pgp/my_public_keys.asc (this private
homepage is also linked in the list of enigmail team members so I
think it is OK to post it here). Is it expired or what other problems
might stop the key being "transferred" from the temp key ring to my
actual one? I use GNUPGHOME to have my keyring in an other location
but at least the other components (viewing keys, encryption...) seem
to work so enigmail/gnupg is aware of the different location.


Just a side question with some comments. Initially I  just typed the
e-mail to you (using your @enigmail.net address) and said encrypt and
then enigmail offered this nice screen where I can select the key to
use but as I don't have it yet, I clicked on "Fehlende Schlüssel
herunterladen" (download missing keys). I explicitly used
keys.gnupg.net as key server. I got several hits, see here
http://postimg.org/image/m7up6d6vl/ for a screenshot. If I understand
it correctly in principle everybody can create keys for other peoples
e-mail addresses or maybe you created all this different keys really
yourself, therefore all these results. Some results are gray, I assume
that these are expired keys (would revoken keys show up there as
well?), unfortunately in this window there is no column for the
expiration date or key validity. Maybe one can add it there (at least
as an option to include). What I don't understand is, that one of the
found keys is just labeld "undefined" and I can't see any details? How
does this entry end up there?

Best regards,

Hauke
