Rather than external links, please use "attach new file" so that all relevant information is kept with the bug - you can paste text right into the attachment dialog (which isn't obvious)

"no suitable subkey found for encrypt"

So did your encryption key expire?

Oh..... my damn!!!!

Sorry for the noise. Could not be more explicit the error message in the dialog? In the dialog I had not info about this. Or setting a more global warning about the expiration?

Best regards
