Autocrypt setup message
Hi, i want to export my openPGP key from Android openKeychain to Desktop Thunderbird via the Autocrypt setup message. But the autocrypt file isn't recognized when i click on it on Thunderbird Desktop. I can just download it. How do i open it so that i can write the passphrase and import my openPGP key? Thanks.

Export your OpenPGP key from OpenKeychain as an Autocrypt setup message. Send the setup message to your desktop email and download the attachment. In Thunderbird, go to Account Settings > End-to-End Encryption for your account and select OpenPGP Key Manager. Use File > Import Keys from File to import the downloaded Autocrypt file. This should prompt you to enter the passphrase and complete the import.
Thanks for the reply but i already tried that. It doesn't even recognize the autocrypt-setup-message file as a GnuPg file and says 'Error! failed to import file'. i tried to add the autocrypt Thunderbird-addon but it's not compatible with the current Thunderbird version.
