User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.75 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

With gpg2 installed on 47.0a2 (2016-04-25)  (Fedora 23/4.4.8-300  kernel)

1) Import full keypair (via  gpg2 cli /client OR  Thunderbird 'Import keys from {file/clipboard/url} )

2) Decrypt/verify (auto or manual) encrypted email signed / encrypted with this keypair.

3) Presented with error in report below.


Actual results:

Error - decryption failed gpg: decryption failed: No secret key Note: The message is encrypted for the following User ID's / Keys: 0x8B4E89435A88E539 (Corey 'linuxmodder' Sheldon (Find me on Google +CoreySheldon) <[e-mail]>) 


Expected results:

Present decrypted email.

gpg --se  {any_file}  
reciepient 5a88e539 (same  key  thunderbird  claims  secret key is missing)


signed and  encrypted and  gpg -o  %any_path%  -d %path/to/{any_file}%   works as well on SAME system

Please note: Bugzilla is a tracking system for bugs in Mozilla products, not add-ons.
So if an add-on doesn't work, you need to contact the add-on author.

Enigmail is a bit special since we're planning to integrate it into TB. So we know its author. In general we don't know the add-on authors.

This is a setup error, not a bug in Enigmail.
