The error is "We couldn’t find any usable key matching the specified search criteria". STR: 1. Open an email to/from the person whose public key you're trying to import into Thunderbird (for example to send them encrypted email). 2. Right-click on their email address and choose "Discover OpenPGP Key". This always fails for me, even when I choose an email address for someone I know has (and currently uses) a gpg/pgp key. The person whose email address I've been testing with is Gabriele Svelto. He signs his email messages to me with his gpg/pgp private key, and includes his public key in the message. When I search on https://keys.openpgp.org/ using his email address (his Mozilla email address), I get a result that exactly matches the public key in his emails. (Under the hood Thunderbird seems to use the `keys.openpgp.org` server exclusively, as reflected in the default value for `temp.openpgp.keyserver` in `about:config`.) What I'm doing should work, at least with Gabriele Svelto. Can you tell me why it doesn't? I get the same error when I click on the `OpenPGP` button in one of Gabriele's emails and choose `Discover`.
