Please note, that you have written me offlist (privately) for no apparent
reason.
I am tempted to to ask why, but actually I perfectly know why: because default
Mozilla Thunderbirdʼs (your MUA) visual interface is totally misdesigned: it
hides the only command you normally need — ‘Reply all’ — somewhere beneath a
dropdown list, while displaying rarely useful commands: ‘Reply [to sender
only]’ and ‘Reply [to] list [only]’ prominently. Even more, you seemingly
_canʼt_ fix it by customizing the button bar.
At least, the keychord Ctrl-Shift-r is always there.
Iʼve remailed your letter back to the list, but from now on please keep in mind
that your MUA sucks. ;-)

Yes, if you had published your key on keyserver network, it may help to mark it
as revoked there, so you donʼt have to wait until it expires to ensure that
nobody will find and use it.

Upload the revocation certificate to a keyserver. Please note, that the only
proper keyserver, that is working reliably now, is hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com.
If you have been using some other one, reconfigure.

‘Or’ is a wrong word here.

Sure.

I believe, Iʼd already clarified that case.

I hope so. There might be a need to switch the default key, of course; I do
not remember for sure now, whether Enigmail defaults to the newest key found.

Why? No any need to do that.

Once you make sure, that you never be able to recall the passphrase, you can
delete the old key.
However, I would not destroy it entirely in any case, but preserve a copy of
~/.gnupg.
