After your instructions I managed to import my key into Thunderbird.

Great!

I did it differently, not through the terminal, that´s why it didn´t
work.

How did you export the keys from GnuPG then?

I am an Emacs user on a low level.

I tried also through Thunderbird.


Somebody, who doesn´t know that, is lost.

I tried through Emacs, but I didn´t know that I have to use the .asc ending, may be that´s why it didn´t work. It seems, somebody who knows the terminal and how to use it, can do almost everything.

When sending an encrypted email from gnus then it automatically
opened in Thunderbird decrypted, because I have got now the keys in
Thunderbird.

That sounds good.

So we agree that when you wrote:

     "As I wrote, Thunderbird on their help options say clearly that
      Thunderbird does not accept GnuPG, only if it is a smartcard..."

that was incorrect?

I don´t know what to say about that, because Thunderbird says that on its website.

But in Gnus I didn´t succeed to decrypt this email.

Can you save the email in a file and decrypt that file with gpg?

I tried with ~$ gpg -d ~/testkey.gpg
but it failed after entering my passphrase.

Wait, which email, the one you sent from Gnus?

If you want to be able to read emails you have sent encrypted to other
people (ie in "Sent"), you usually encrypt it for yourself as well -

that's done in the gpg configuration with the 'default-recipient' and
'hidden-encrypt-to' options. Have you configured those?

this is missing, I have not configured that, because I don´t know how.

what do I have to add into my gnus.el file?

What do you do to decrypt an email in Gnus?

I import the relevant key pair into GnuPG, and then Gnus does the rest
automatically.
