application thunderbird (and it's plugin enigmail was updated)

When I try to encrypt en email I got the following error
when trying to send it.

I have several nodes and one is not upgraded to 8.10 and
there will the combination thunderbird and enigmail work out very well

Is there a solution on this problem ?

It looks like there's something wrong with your key, more spefically your expiration. Try another key and see if that works.

Whatever key I choose enigmail add in the command line the same key
.... --encrypt-to 0xE3FB1BDD ..... -u 0xE3FB1BDD

That key exist in my key manager (expired) but the problem exist even
if I delete this key in the keymanager.

So there must be some error in the enigmail plugin. The plugin
must cache this id and always use it.


I still hope for a solution ......

Change in Thunderbird -> edit -> account --> openPGP security
