Is it possible that you have two different gnupg versions installed,
one that works from the command line and another that works with
mail?

Well, I didn't explicitly install a second gpg--the plug-in for Mozilla
email encryption was, I thought, simply a front-end for the gpg I was
already running. But perhaps Enigmail (the plug-in) generated a new
trustdb? If it has, can the gpg be set to use the new one?

A new, incompatible version of trustdb was created when Engimail went
in. By moving that trustdb file to a different directory and running
gpg, gpg created a new trustdb file. All seems well, now.
