When I use evolution to encrypt an email I get the following error
Code:

Because "gpg: writing to `-'
gpg: DSA key AC806A0E requires a 256 bit or larger hash
gpg: signing failed: General error
", you may need to select different mail options.

Your key requires sha256 or better and evolution is probably defaulting to using sha1 (thats what its been every time I've seen this error in the past anyways.) You need to change it.
