Guess you decided to skip this part of the QSG:
http://enigmail.mozdev.org/documentation/quickstart-ch2.php#id2533620
It's near the end of Chapter 2. Right *BEFORE* the 'Your First Signature'
section in Chapter 3. It's under 'Next Steps', 'Publishing Your Key'.

Anyway... It /looks/ like Enigmail is working.

'Looks' is the best anyone can tell you at the moment.

It appears that you have not sent your key to the keyservers. Had you sent your
key to the keyservers, folks could've verified the signature you had on this
last message.

Until then, ie until it is available:

  1) See if the original message in your Sent folder verifies OK

  2a) Send yourself a signed message and see if that verifies when you receive
     it.

  2b) You can also send yourself an encrypted message.

*Until your public key is available, there is nothing others can help you with*

Within Enigmail, you may open the key management window, right click the key,
and select "upload to key server"... hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net is a great
choice, but I prefer my own 192.168.0.4
