Hi list, first I want to say hello, I am a new subscriber.
I have been using enigmail on a windows 7 machine with thunderbird for half a year now. I have two key-pairs, one of length 2048 and one of length 4096. About two weeks ago I got error messages telling me that my key (the longer one) had missing trust, out of nowhere, I did not change anything. Then I made updates and klicked everything to >>ultimate<< (though I didn't have to do that before, it just worked before). Now the larger key has status >>validity: revoked<<, but I never revoked that key by myself. This morning, when I opened an encrypted mail sent to me by someone, I got another enigmail-error-message: <\beginquote> Decrypted message Error - no matching secret key found to decrypt message Note: The message is encrypted for the following user ID's / Keys> ... (Doris Behrendt) ..., ... (the name of the sender of the mail) ... <\stopquote> Yesterday I openend this message without any error message. After restarting, the error message doesn't reemerge, it seems. So here are my questions: 1. Why do I have two keys? (perhaps I don't remember generating 2 keys, perhaps it is the default to get 2?) 2. Why is my key revoked without me actively revoking it? It seems that I cannot re-revoke it? 3. What mechanism is telling enigmail, which key to take, if there are more than one? 4. What could be the reason for the error message telling me >>no matching secret key found<<? Thanks in advance, I must admit, I am a little bit confused ... I'm going to do another restart, perhaps the reason is only some windows updates?
