I did the following: Remove GnuPG 2.1.14; Install GnuPG 2.1.13; Result: Same problems. Remove GnuPG 2.1.13; Install GnuPG 2.1.12; Result: Works. Given the timeline for the Enigmail and GnuPG "modern" releases we find: 2016-05-04 : GnuPG 2.1.12 2016-06-03 : Enigmail 1.9.3 2016-06-16 : GnuPG 2.1.13 2016-07-04 : Enigmail 1.9.4 2016-07-14 : GnuPG 2.1.14 I didn't go through testing the individual steps of testing the import and export functions of Enigmail as GnuPG and Enigmail were rolling out since may and I should have. Is there an a pre-release announcement mailing list or notification that I can subscribe to run some quick tests? GnuPG talks about GnuPG 2.1.x inconsistently: at time it is "modern" and at times it is a "development release", but Enigmail 1.9 was announced with GnuPG 2.1.x support and so should either offer the support or warn people who are using GnuPG 2.1 that breakage can happen. If it is the position of the Enigmail project that GnuPG is a development branch then it would be a nice touch to have a note in the Enigmail conf that tells the user that their version of GnuPG is not completely supported. As it stands, the documentation and the release notes provided by Enigmail set users up for failure. -- Samir Nassar web: samirnassar.com email: sa...@samirnassar.com PGP: pgp.samirnassar.com
