For the record, the guide I followed was this one:
http://enigmail.mozdev.org/gpgconf.html.  I was setting up 'enigmail'
for Thunderbird.

I have my keys rings working now...with the exception of one key, that
appears to be malformed.  I'm going to contact my fried who owns that
key to day and see if he has had any problems with it.  BTW, the key in
question, can't even be imported from a key server without gpg complaining.

This is good information.  I may backup and try this later tonight as I
still have a pristine copy of the gpg stuff on a Linux box at home.
