GPG or GPG2 ?

click the Enigmail option in the toolbar at the top of Thunderbird

then click the Preferences option

Observe message:   GnuPG was found i ... it will be gpg or gpg2 and if
you have gpg2 on your system it should have identified that.

now that you know which GPG you are using, go to terminal and enter

gpg2 --list-keys

(if you are using gpg in Thunderbird then you would use that instead)

you should see the same keys using --list-keys that you see in the Key
Manager dialog:   at the top of Thunderbird click Enigmail in the tool
bar and then take the key management option.    this should display the
same list of keys.    if you are using gpg2 in Thunderbird then
Thunderbird Key Management should display the same list of keys that you
see when you issue the gpg2 --list-keys command.    If they don't come
up, then from the Enigmail, Key Management dialog, select the File
option and hit reload key cache.    this should get the keys for you;
let us know if it does not.

use gpg2 --delete-secret-and-public-key <name>

to remove all your keys except the one you are going to use.    be sure
to use the fingerprint ID as <name> -- as you have multiple keys you
probably have the same e/mail on all of them.   

when you think you are ready you may send me a test message.   set the
subject line as
