 I "think" you need to associate the key to your email account in
thunderbird/enigmail. Under accounts configuration, you need to enable
PGP for the email account, and select the key you want to use with that
account (enigmail is supposed to chose the right key, comparing the
email addresses, but I have not tried it).

Well, I did:
C:\Documents and Settings\Javier>gpg --list-keys
and a huge amount of keys appeared... my own keys, and all they keys I
have got reading this list... but here is one of my keys, as the output
showed it:

pub   2048R/862D895B 2008-05-27
uid                  Fishkiloide <fishkiloide at gmail.com>
sub   2048R/A0588420 2008-05-27
sub   2048R/E09751CD 2008-05-27

  I have 2 subkeys because I added 1 extra subkey... but other than
that, it is the same kind of output... so I dont think you are doing
anything wrong. Probably, you still have to enable pgp support for your
email account, in thunderbird...
