I just installed gnu PGP and Enigmail on my windows XP computer.
Created pairs of keys too, for the two email-adresses I use.
After installing I sent test mails to Adele (adele@gnupp.de) to see, if everything works.
Adele seems to understand my encrypted mails, but refuses to send an encrypted mail back to me. It says, I didn't send my public key. I am very sure that I sent the public key.
Here is Adele's reply:
Here is the unencrypted reply to your email.
I have received an encrypted message from you. However, I could not find a public key that matches your email address so I cannot reply with encrypted messge. Since I want to keep the message you sent me in confidence, I will not quote it in this unencrypted reply and just let you know that I could decrypt the message properly.
If you send me your public key along with another encrypted message, then I shall prove that I can decrypt it by quoting it in my reply.
Yours sincerely, adele-en@gnupp.de
what is wrong here? I created the key pairs with gnuPGP and Enigmail inside Thunderbird. Are the keys faulty or what could be the reason for this?
I am a complete newbie with this topic and any help is very much appreciated!

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The only hint I can give you is that Adele could not find your public key. Check the message you sent to see if the public key was really attached. You can also try to import your own public key it to see if is OK. This will not harm your existing key, GnuPG should simply tell you that nothing was updated.
