Ummm, a) A 160 bit hash is required by whatever it is you are doing and RIPEMD160 has a higher preference than SHA-1 under your present preference list and/or b) You have not explicitly enabled DSA2 hash generation with 'enable-dsa2' > 2.

GnuPG will use the first key that matches the key ID supplied as it, presently (subject to change) sequentially reads the keyring files. If you have multiple keys that match a given search term, ie "Andrew Berg", then the easiest way to avoid ambiguity is to refer to the keys via the short hexadecimal key ID, eg 0xdecafbad. There is a place on the 'OpenPGP Security' tab within Account Settings in Thunderbird, to tell Enigmail to use a specific key ID rather than matching a key via email address. You also may wish to specify the new key as the default-key along with various other helpful settings in gpg.conf. -- John P.
