Hi,

I would like to expand my existing pgp key to another email address which is an alias to my primary email address. I don't find any information about that anywhere; is it possible within thunderbird? If not, is it possible to do this on the command line without breaking thunderbird's pgp integration?

Thanks a lot, Piko

It sounds a little complicated, but you could probably do this:

  • export the key from Thunderbird, and import it to gpg
  • use gpg to add the new user ID
  • export the key from gpg and import it into Thunderbird

Note, when exporting make sure to export the private key.
