Tried using only the 16-character sub key id for the [S][C] sub key.
Screenshot attached.
Set GPGME_DEBUG in environment and confirmed presence in Thunderbird process. [See screenshot]
No GPGME debug log created.
PS C:\Users\||redacted||\AppData\Local\Temp> ls gpg* PS C:\Users\||redacted||\AppData\Local\Temp>
Moved GpgWin\bin and GpgWin\bin_64 to the beginning of the path to ensure they were present in the env o the running process.
Ugh. No idea how but everything is working. Now there is nothing in the logs about errors; the "GPGME isn't working" does not appear anymore.
My private key has a number UIDs although originally, I couldn't even sign or decrypt with the primary UID, nor with any of the sub UIDs.
I had originally added identities for the sub UIDs under the corresponding accounts where those UIDs can be sent/received. Eventually I discovered that each identity has its own e2ee tab, and specified the same private key ID for each of the identities. Still unsure how that would make signing and decrypt work for the primary UID when it wouldn't before.
