Hi,
I installed a pgp key in Thunderbird to encrypt emails.
But in Gnus it does not work.

What do I have to do?

there is also a difference between easypg and pgp
I found in the manual,
but I don´t know how to procede.

Yes, you are on the right track.  The EasyPG Assistant ("epa") is the
"Emacs user interface to GNU Privacy Guard".  You can use it to decrypt
and encrypt things in Emacs (files, for example).

You need to set it up so that you have access to your keys.  Try
to get the stuff in the manual work, like encrypting files:

   (info "(epa) Top")

I read through the manual



In Emacs they don´t appear. I can´t find them.


this comes up in the terminal:

gfp@Tuxedo ~$ gpg --list-keys
/home/gfp/.gnupg/pubring.kbx

pub   rsa4096 2022-10-19 [SC]
      D24DDAC9226D5BA5E9F3BED3F5DAAAF74AD4C938


but where are the OpenPGP keys I created in icecat?

thanks

My first problem is to find the pgp keys which I have set up in Icecat/Thunderbird. uid [ unbekannt ] Trisquel GNU/Linux Archive Automatic Signing Key (11/aramo) <trisquel-de...@trisquel.info>

The second step would be your Gnus setup.  Start here:

   (info "(gnus) Signing and encrypting")

Something like `mml-secure-message-sign-encrypt' (<menu-bar>
<attachments> <Sign and Encrypt Message> or C-c RET C-e) should work
then.

It's also possible to automatize encryption (so that you don't need to
invoke it manually every time).

But this is all not completely trivial, it is necessary that you
understand the underlying mechanisms.
