I just don't understand it. hi anne, as you know, i use thunderbird, but do to your subject line, i opened kmail to see what all it is about with crypto. i found real quick that i need to do some more installing to get it into kmail. as always, next step for me was 'help' and this is what i found; +++ Receiving a Public Key You can receive a public key as an attachment or via http, ftp or a floppy. Before you can use this key to encrypt a message to the owner of the key, you should verify the key (check its fingerprint or look for trusted signatures); then, you can add this key to your public keyring by typing pgp -ka filename at the command line (if you are using PGP) or by typing gpg --import filename at the command line (if you are using GnuPG). If the key is not certified with a trusted signature you cannot use it to encrypt messages unless you have signed the key with your key. +++ could it be that even tho kmail ties to keyring, you may need to import it into kmail and that, according to last line, it needs to be certified? -- peace out. tc,hago. g . **** in a free world without fences, who needs gates. ** help microsoft stamp out piracy - give linux to a friend today. ** to mess up a linux box, you need to work at it. to mess up an ms windows box, you just need to *look* at it. ** learn linux: 'Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition' http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html 'The Linux Documentation Project' http://www.tldp.org/ 'LDP HOWTO-index' http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/index.html 'HowtoForge' http://howtoforge.com/ **** -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
