Comment(by sukhbir):
Based on the error message (`no suitable secret key found`), the reason
for this can be that we are enabling `--throw-keyids` for `gpg`, i.e.,
`gpg` will not put the recipient key IDs into encrypted messages. So when
you send an encrypted message using TorBirdy + Enigmail and try to decrypt
it using APG, it is possible that because APG cannot find a recipient key
and because it is not trying '''all''' the secret keys, it gives up and
throws this error.
A good way to confirm this is: in TorBirdy's preferences, go to `Privacy
Settings` and check the `Put the recipient key IDs into encrypted
messages` option. Then try the above steps by sending an encrypted mail
using TorBirdy and decrypting it using APG. You should be able to do so.
