Dear fellow Enigmail users, All right, I solved it. I had updated the key using gpg --edit-key. This did not update it in gpg2. When I decided to try changing Enigmail to use /usr/bin/gpg, this was rejected. Then I had the idea to delete the secret key from gpg2, export from gpg, then re-import into gpg2. This worked. I hope this helps anyone with a similar problem! Thanks, Duncan Guthrie
