So, a place to start is to establish that you have a minimum GnuPG configuration in place by reading Ashley’s handbook.

That's what I thought too: get things working in GnuPG first.  If it must be the keys generated by a third-party program, and these are considered as "the user's keys", then why not make them known to GnuPG (probably it would have been much easier to let GnuPG generate the keys itself in the first place)?   Anyway, once that works, the setup in Emacs is more straightforward.    Michael.

I set up a key in GnuPG.

after reading the manual several times I found out that I have to add

# to use the PGP Agent in Emacs
GPG_TTY=$(tty)
export GPG_TTY

to my .bashrc file in my home directory
in order to use pgp-agent.

After doing that
when I encrypt a mail in gnus and send it,
it works,
when I want to decrypt it
it opens a terminal window (in bash) (not emacs shell)
to enter my passphrase.
In doing so, it is the right passphrase,
I press: ok
it always says:
wrong password: bash: command not found

So I am a step further
but still I can´t decrypt my own encrypted mails.

this is right: > In creating in GnuPG a new key

it is recognised in Emacs, but not in Thunderbird/Icedove

So I can´t use the key, I created in Emacs, in Thunderbird/Icedove


this is wrong:

and vice verca,
it means both don´t recognise the other.
Thunderbird/Icedove does not recognise the key, I created in GnuPG.

In Emacs, Gnus, the keys, which I created in Thunderbird/Icedove are there,

Still now I don´t know why.
