Adele does not recursively decrypt/verify messages. If would have to decrypt
and then import the key from the resulting cleartext which it doesn't.

You can work around that by
1) first sending your key unencryptedly and then test encrypted mail
2) attach your key unencryptedly instead of pasting it inline
3) use PGP/MIME

>>  How do I ensure that Enigmail is configured correctly?

You sent an email to the mailing list instead of the robot. This is the best
way to achieve a solution quickly. However, your post was not even signed.

Please retry sending a signed email to the list, optionally with your public
key attached. You may test encrypted mails with me (NOT to the list!).
