If so why does > Thunderbird then not verify? Or have I got the wrong end of the stick? I just sent myself a plain text signed message from Evo and verified the signature using TBird. Looking at the raw file, it does indeed have a .asc attachment containing the signature, as per spec. I haven't tried it in HTML as I never use it. Going back to the error message in your original post, it complains about: gpg: BAD signature from "xxxxxxxxx (New rsa key) <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>" That looks to me like a problem with the signature itself rather than the message (though I wouldn't swear to it). Are you sure that your configurations of Evo and TB are using the same signature? poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
