What > is it that happens that annoys people so much My email client, Thunderbird, goes out and searches for his 'not made public as it should be' public Key each and every post. Which takes, depends on the various Keyservers, 20 +- seconds *each* Kerserver for *each* post. Two in one thread? Does it twice. Three? Does it three times. Etc... I would think that the other email clients using GnuPG do the same. I can set it *not* to do that here but that is not what I wish. And why should I set my system so that one person can do things incorrectly? But no longer. I asked him politely. But his attitude bought him the bit bucket here.
