Are you sure that your > configurations of Evo and TB are using the same signature? Well - the way I am testing is that I have TB set up on this machine for my personal mail and the .gnupg dir holds the GPG files. I also have Evolution running on this same physical machine within my own user area. The EVo account is set up to hook up to my work imap email account. Hence if I use TB to send from personal mail account to work and receive the mail on Evo, or if I send from my work account using Evo to my personal account seen in TB then both mail clients are operating using the same set of files in .gnupg. Therefore if I use a signed email then both are taking the keys from the same area! Hence if it works sending from TB to myself on TB, or from TB to Evo, and the signature verifies fine, but sending from Evo to TB where the signature does not verify this indicates that one or other email client is not handling the signing or verification properly, surely! I do now know that if sending a plaintext mail from Evo to TB then the signature verifies just fine, but changing to sending HTML but otherwise leaving everything else the same then TB says it is a BAD signature. The question I do not know is whether the signature verification in TB has a bug, or whether Evo does not form the PGP/Mime mail correctly when sending HTML? Either way there is nothing wrong with my GPG keys since every other test I do on them works fine. -- mike c -- 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
