Nope!

Please don't be alarmed by the length of this email.  All the steps
involved are very simple.



Click on "OpenPGP-->Key Management" in the main Thunderbird window.

Search for your key.  Double click on it to open a Key Properties window.

At the bottom left of the Key Properties window you'll see a button that
says "Manage User IDs".  Click it.

A new window will appear: "Change Primary User ID".  In the lower left
side you'll see a button reading "Add".  Click it.

Specify the name, email address and comment you want associated with the
key.  Click OK.

Congratulations: you're most of the way done.

In the main Thunderbird window, you should see a list of your email
accounts.  (In my setup, they're listed on the very left-hand side of
the window.  You may have rearranged your layout, though.)

Right-click on the account you want to set up for Enigmail.  Click on
"Properties".

The Thunderbird Account Properties window will open up.  Find the
account you want to set up for Enigmail, and look for an entry called
"OpenPGP Security".  Click it.

Make sure that "Enable OpenPGP support (Enigmail) for this identity" is
checked.

Click "Use specific OpenPGP key ID".

Click "Select Key".

Select the key you want to use.

Once you're done, click "OK" to close the Account Settings window.

Congratulations: you've got your second email account set up to use the
same key.
