Hello.

I'm trying to set up Thunderbird to use GnuPG installed on my laptop.

Here are relevant settings I changed: ``` mail.identity.default.openpgp_key_id = "goose-new <wbg@angouri.org>" mail.openpgp.allow_external_gnupg = true ```

Then I create a new email, press OpenPGP -> Digitally sign.

Then I press Send.

However, it says ``` Unable to send the message, because there is a problem with your personal key. The configured key ID ‘goose-new <wbg@angouri.org>’ cannot be found on your keyring ```

It is correctly configured in gpg (and I can sign files with it).

Any idea?

(versions: gpg: 2.3.7, thunderbird 102.6.0, OS: NixOS 23.05)

I've seen that page, but I may be not entirely understanding. I don't want a smartcard auth, I only need thunderbird to request signing using my gpg instead of its own, is it possible?

Yes, that's why I did suggest you read the article - all of it. You can follow the suggestion or not, up to you.

I read the whole article, every paragraph. However, I keep hitting the issue.

I do have gpgme installed. I went to account settings -> end-to-end encryption -> add key -> from external -> pasted there last 16 characters of my key's fingerprint. Still same problem. (I also tried first 16 characters, the whole fingerprint, and key ID).

Check the Thunderbird Error Console (Ctrl-Shift-J). There should be a message like this: Successfully loaded optional OpenPGP library libgpgme.so.11 from system's standard library locations

Do you see that?

You'll also need a working Pinentry for entering your private key's passphrase.

I do have pinentry

Here's full logs from Ctrl+Shift+j (attached the screenshot too since it is probably more readable)

Could it be the problem with OTR?

Did you import the corresponding public key into Thunderbird as described in the article?

Could it be the problem with OTR?

No.

Ok so, apparently, when I import the **public** key through openpgp key manager, I should press Not accept when it prompts. Now it works. Thank you so much for the help!

I somehow doubt you can send encrypted messages properly when not accepting your own public key.
