Hi. Probably just a stupid question but still can't figure it out: why do I have two different public (and private) keys? When I go to "Account Settings -> End-to-End encryption -> Copy public key to clipboard" is creating a different key from the public key that is usually attached when I send an email.

The same happens with private key: the secret key in my file and the private key I produce when I select the "Backup secret key to a file" are different.

Why is this happening? Thank you

Perhaps ask in the E2EE mailing list. Folks knowing, or even caring about, PGP stuff are in short supply in this forum.
