Having started from a new, empty keyring, to remove any possibility of contamination, I now seem to have everything working. I *think* that the problem is that the stakes have been raised for encrypting mail. I always used to mark the necessary keys 'Fully Trusted', which was sufficient. That seemed to me, together with local-signing, to be the right level for someone I have 'known' for a long time, but have not actually confirmed the identity, as I have those whose keys I have signed. It seems that now you have to mark a key as 'Ultimately Trusted' before you can encrypt with it. This feels totally wrong to me, but there's nothing I can do about it.
