The strange thing is that when I *first* imported the key, I noticed that all I could do was sign it. So I thought OK I'll sign it, but I won't lie to the software and say that I had checked it thoroughly. Perhaps that's why it wouldn't let me encrypt to the key even after I had signed it. Weird thing though, even after I reimported the key, signed it with a lie saying I had checked thoroughly, I STILL was unable to encrypt to it. But that's when I saw the old familiar "Set Owner Trust" option so I just used that to trust it ultimately and then I could encrypt just fine. Just to ensure that I'm not getting the details wrong, I'm going to delete the key and go through the process again and report back. -- Patrick Chkoreff _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
