    WvV> What program are you using?   
    WvV> And you should be able to! ;)   
      
   Enigmail.  It integrates GnuPG into Thunderbird as an add-on so that it   
   looks and operates as if were part of Thunderbird.   
      
   Apparently, I haven't fully explored its full configuration options.   
   There are so many. I saw a setting on my other pc where I could "assign"   
   other identities to the existing ones.  Maybe that is the answer.   
      
      
    AA>> If you were to create an email to me using my current key,

    WvV> I have no clue, I have never tried sending an encrypted

   Next to being able to sign messages in echomail/newsgroups, fully   
   encrypted messages only make sense in email - direct to a specific   
   individual.   
      
      
    AA>> It's pretty neat that I can look up old friends and check   
    AA>> the properties of the keys.   
      
    WvV> Indeed. ;)   
      
    WvV> But are those older keys still usable? I have two keys from

   That's the beauty of pulling down the keys and checking their   
   properties.  The properties will reveal creation dates, expiry dates,   
   revocations,etc.  It would be relatively easy to just pick the most   
   recent date, and send a brief hello message with a CC: and see which   
   ones reach their target.
