Sorry, just for clarity, these are the exact steps I took:

- wiped out my squirrelmail gpg prefs directory in the data directory so I
can start from scratch (I had previously generated and used GPG keys entirely
through the GPG plugin and it worked great)
- generated my own keypair from my linux command line:
- ran this command to get my private key:
    gpg --export-secret-subkeys -a
- used the GPG plugin to "import from text" and pasted the PGP PRIVATE KEY
BLOCK in and saved
- so far, so good, the plugin recognized my private key so I think it's good
- sent my public key to a friend
- my friend sent me an encrypted message and I was able to decrypt it just
fine!  YAY!
- tried to send a GPG-signed message and it barfed.  the error is above.
- what did I do wrong?  I don't see anything else I can do in the GPG plugin
configuration to fix this???  
- FWIW, I am using the same keypair with thunderbird and it works just fine,
although I imported it by actually copying my pubring.gpg and secring.gpg
files to my Windows machine instead of exporting my secret key 

TIA!
