Dear Ludwig,

The problem persists. When saving a message as draft, there is no
message/key request whatsoever. Yet, the saved draft gets unaccessible
with the error message:
"Enigmail Alert
Enigmail Security Info
Error - no matching private secret key found to decrypt message
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key
Note: The message is encrypted for the following User ID's / Keys:
0x1594F1502D7EF3B9 (Roland Siemons <[email protected]>)"

Which is my key! I usually can decrypt messages encrypted for myself. In
this case I cannot!

See some further answers to TB/Enigmail behaviour intertwined here below.

Thanks for advice.

Roland

I tried it again, today. The task manager does not show any gpg process
to be active at all.
