I see this too, one of the keys uses my full 4096 bit kit, the other is a 2048 bit key. Not sure why there's two, so I just deleted the weaker one.

i don’t see where to delete it
i only see one key on the keychain that corresponds to one of the numbers

Hey David (and Stephen),
welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.
First things first: please do not just delete old keys. You should see a very explicit warning about this in GPG Keychain.
Why the dropdown
As soon as more than one key exists for one email address of yours, you will see a dropdown to choose, which key is to be used. Note that this is one of the Known issues of the 2017.1b2 release that that is not yet working as expected.
How to resolve?
Often times there's no need for such a setup so it is recommended to revoke one of the two keys which may no longer be needed.
This KB-article explains how to revoke a key.
All the best,
steve

There's also a known issue, which we're currently working on, where GPGMail currently picks one secret key at random to sign the message, when more than one key exist for the same mail address.
We have a ticket for this problem. I connected this discussion with the existing ticket. That means, should this discussion get closed, it will be re-opened as soon as the ticket is closed. That way you'll stay in the loop and get notified as soon as we have news. Feel free to open a new discussions should you run into further problems or need assistance.

Hi David,
good news - the issue where key selection in the From: field was ignored when more than one secret key existed for the same email address, has been fixed. If you want to test the fix, please download our latest nightly GPG Suite. That page also has sig and SHA1 to verify the download.
Best, steve
Disclaimer: This is a development version which has not been thoroughly tested yet, so bugs or crashes are to be expected. Thanks for helping us test this fix.
