Thanks!  Just what I was looking for.

Is efficiency the reason for using multiple keys, rather than using a 
single ElGamal key (really a single public/secret pair) for everything?

>>Someone sent me a message encrypted with E0BEF64A instead of 379E6244,

This confusion was a result of my misunderstanding what Thunderbird was 
telling me about the message when I looked at the details.

Thanks!
