😀

I've got a bunch of valid secret keys which are all valid and I've 
configured Security.plist to pick the correct one for my various email 
addresses:

     {
         map = (
             {
                 address = "philip at trouble.is";
                 userID = "0x31AEB9B5FDBBCB0E";
             },
             {
     [...]

This morning I tried to sign a message from philip at trouble.is and 
MailMate wants to use another key, not 0x31AEB9B5FDBBCB0E.  I thought 
the problem might be related to the fact that 0x31AEB9B5FDBBCB0E is 
stored on a Yubikey smartcard (that sometimes confuses GnuPG), but GnuPG 
is happy to use the key:

It looks like r5187 is not feeding the userID to the gpg --local-user 
command line option.  It's just giving the address:

     2015-11-28 13:34:44.734 MailMate[28147:1947364] Failed to connect 
(_messageView) outlet from (SFCertificateTrustPanel) to (NSTextField): 
missing setter or instance variable

This line turned up as soon as the main window opened.  I'm doubt it's 
related to the problem, but I thought I'd keep it just in case.

     OpenPGP
      gpg2 --no-verbose --batch --no-tty --openpgp --status-fd 2 
--digest-algo SHA1 --textmode --armor --local-user "<philip at trouble.is>" 
--detach-sign

Note the --local-user is not the userID from my Security.plist.

As an aside: is there a particular reason you're specifying SHA1 rather 
than allowing GnuPG to pick the algorithm (in my case, I've told it to 
prefer stronger ciphers in my $HOME/.gnupg/gpg.conf).

      Input string (202): "Content-Type:

I expected GnuPG to ask me for the PIN for the key on my smart card, not 
the passphrase for this other key.  Which is what it did until I 
upgraded.

Thanks.
