   Clarification:  When I use the keys.openpgp.org website directly, it   
   reports that SEARCHES do not support short IDs.   
      
   That probably explains why using that server in Enigmail searching with   
   the short ID fails also.

   I dunno.  The default config in the Enigmail version for TB 2.0.0.24   
   imported the image, no problem.  If I have to enable it in the Enigmail   
   version for TB 60, I haven't looked.  I just assumed it ought to work   
   like the other Enigmail.
