  Clarification: When I use the keys.openpgp.org website directly, it  
  reports that SEARCHES do not support short IDs.  
    
  That probably explains why using that server in Enigmail searching with  
  the short ID fails also.

  I dunno. The default config in the Enigmail version for TB 2.0.0.24  
  imported the image, no problem. If I have to enable it in the Enigmail  
  version for TB 60, I haven't looked. I just assumed it ought to work  
  like the other Enigmail.
