One of the potential problems I can see is multiple key rings. which I have just recently discovered in my own setup. I have the "standard" key rings that GPG4Win/Enigmail use and then I discovered 2 unknown files in my gnupg directory. PAPubring.gpg and PAsecring.gpg. I eventually deduced they came from an archiving program I use that has PGP built in called Power Archiver.
Granted I am a newbie with PGP but the thought of having to make sure multiple key rings are all synced sounds like a hassle. On 5/29/2020 1:32 PM, Robert J.
