[Gpg4win-users-en] An error occurred while trying to add the user-id: General error

[Ken]

Hi Emanuel,

Your steps worked without any problems for me.  I was also able to
change the expiry date.  I am trying to remember what I did the last
time when it failed. I believe I was doing this through Thunderbird.
I'll try again and update you if I encounter this error again.

Thanks for your help.

Ken
