Both short and long keyids have been shown to be easily spoofable. Therefore, it is recommended that when running --list-keys from the command line, you should display full fingerprints. This is easily done by adding

fingerprints

to the gpg-conf file.

However, once you add this option, enigmail's key management interface will display the subkey's fingerprint instead of the primary key, making it difficult for those who rely on the gui interface to verify fingerprints.

This bug is a duplicate of bug 239 (https://sourceforge.net/p/enigmail/bugs/239/) which has been fixed some months ago. Could you please try a nightly build and test if it corrects things for you? Thanks!
