Just thought I'd share this with you in case anybody else bumps into it.

Using Thunderbird on a Ubuntu PC, which organises several of my email accounts. As I had just started looking into Engimail on this PC I had only bothered to create a key pair for one of these email accounts. My plan was to use this account first to sign an email to a different one of my email accounts (worked like a charm) and then send an encrypted (test) email from one of my email accounts (that I hadn't gotten around to creating a key pair for) to the account that had the key pair.

Each time I tried I'd get the popup with INV_RECP 0 and the sending email account's address.

The resolution , if you can call it that, is to go into OpenPGP -> Display Expert Settings -> Sending (tab) -> uncheck 'Add my own key to the recipients list'

Because, of course, what it was trying to do was send the key from the sending email account, only I hadn't botherred to create one (honest, I'll create one, it's on my todo list :-)
