    GS6543 - 2017-07-23

    Hi,

    how can I know, witch Key is ask for a Mail at the enigmail details at incomming mails as there is a 16 char id used (Long key ID).
    In the key store a 8 char id (Short key ID) is used and in details of a key a 40 char (Fingerprint) id is used.

    How can I convert the short to the long version or the other direction ?
    My Problem is that I do not know, witch key the sender used and the "Long key ID" is unknown.
    The short one may be found on the harddrive.

    Thanks in Advance

    Long to short: only 8 chars from the right of the long format.

    How to get Long Format in the enigmail key store without taking the 16 char of the fingerprint under details menue?

    The only source for the long key-Id is the fingerprint, which is accessible via key details either via the menu or CTRL-click in Enigmails key manager.

    The next version of Enigmail will show long key-Ids only.
