This is what I have done up to now, I have a 106Gb personal account
and don't want to waste time and disks to build a new account
everytime I change or update a distro. I begun with fedora (a long
time ago) and switch to debian when fedora made a new version of
anaconda which was unable to deal with raid+lvm (fedora 15 I think),
now I switch back to fedora because debian changed to systemd in a
very ugly way (services unavailable or buggy). I think that
mainteners/developpers should take care of all these "details"
carefully if they want to keep and develop linux for ordinary people
like me....

But this is off topic!

One thing I mentionned in my first mail: when I press the "send"
button to send a mail, nothing happens (no dialog box to ask the
passphrase is opened and the mail does not disappear) but
pinentry-curses crashes (using 100% of CPU). If I press this button
twice, another instance of pinentry-curses is opened (100% CPU also..)

If I kill pinentry-curses instance, TB opens a window saying that my
gpg key is not found or that the subkey may have expired.

TB find my gpg key if I go to Enigmail>Manage key

The sukey has not expired :
]$ gpg --edit-key francois.patte at mi.parisdescartes.fr

How? When I press the "manually" button and enter my email address,
the answer is the same: provider not in mozilla database....
