    Hi August,

    On 2020-01-05 03:34:10, you wrote to me:

    Enigmail Security Info Part of the message signed Unverified

    Public key D22932992A6F822A used to verify signature BAD signature
    from Tommi Koivula <tommi@fidonet.fi>

    Why would it be BAD?

    I'm getting a good signature on Tommy's message:

    gpg: Signature made za 04 jan 2020 22:10:34 CET using RSA key ID 2A6F822A

    I think it has to do with whether he is using GoldED or Thunderbird.

    I don't think that matters. It's what happens between him and the receivers system to the contents of the message, before the verify...

    My keys with his ID 2A6F822A do not have the long
    p1.f1.n221.z2.fidonet.fi address in the list. And my Enigmail reports a different fingerprint.

    Then you should update the key from a keyserver...

    Bye, Wilfred.

    I just did. Looks good now.

    The key management in Enigmail for TB 24 does not do the updates
    automatically, but Enigmail for TB 68 and up does. Looking forward to
    possibly only use a newer TB.
