Hello,
I want to sign an email (mail mode, not message mode) using M-x
epa-mail-sign <RET>.
I would have expected to have been presented with a list of keys from
which to choose, but, instead, I am asked to enter my password for the
first key in my key-ring. (The first key is effectively the default, if
no default key is explicitly set). Unfortunately, I want to sign with
another key in my key-ring.
How can I force epa to present me with a choice of keys rather than the
first? I am using gpg (GnuPG) 2.0.26.
Thanks.
Best wishes,
Colin.

C-u M-x epa-mail-sign
should do that, which is not described in the docstring nor in the
manual. Thereʼs an epa-mail-mode minor mode as well with more
convenient bindings for the signing and encrypting commands.
Iʼd recommend message-mode and mml-secure-sign-pgp, but that has other
annoying bugs in its unconfigured state that I haven't fixed yet.

Universal argument, excellent. That worked!

Not telling anyone - now that's sneaky:-)

Yes, I normally use message mode, but, because of the way I have things
configured, sometimes I have to use mail.
Thanks again.
Best wishes, Colin.

Iʼve put it on my to-fix list.

message-mode is supposed to be a replacement for mail-mode. Is there
something missing from it for your use-case?
