Seems like it's a problem with the secret part of your key pair. Can you
see it with gpg --list-secret-keys ? Can you encrypt only a message to
either yourself or Christian's; I think that only needs access to their
public keys.

You could also try signing some text using the gpg command directly and
see if that works. If so, it's a problem in Evolution.

Meanwhile, I'll try my keys on Hoary!

Tony.
