I've been using GPG split for over a year with keys that hadn't been generated and were only imported into the vault qube and never had a problem.

Yesterday I generated a GPG key pair in the vault qube, and while the vault qube has no problem in seeing the private key, enigmail in a different qube only sees a public key.

Has anyone ever experienced this? I've been looking for similar problems both here and elsewhere and found no reference to this.

Thanks for your help.

Changes to private keys with GnuPG 1 are not visible to GnuPG 2, and
vice versa. So, if you generated your key with the `gpg` command
(instead of `gpg2`), then Enigmail probably isn't seeing it because it
and Split GPG are using gpg2.
