Karl, if you specify -a option as well, you should end up with .asc file

1] open terminal and cd to the directory where you saved the .txt attachment

3] fedora-icla-karl.txt.asc should now be in the same directory

	I have been looking at what has been happening and decided to see where I got my information on your web site. Below are where I found instructions for getting a key:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/UsingGpg/CreatingKeys

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/AccountSystem/CLAHowTo

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Join

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Join/CheckList

Next I want to check out the CLA problem because it can be that this problem is a BUG for Fedora 8. Since most of you got this step done with zero trouble on earlier versions of Fedora it smells like something changed.
	Well you ask for and get a file attached to an email that is:

fedora-icla-karl.txt
and you are instructed to write:

    If you agree to these terms and conditions, type "I agree" here: I agree
    Enter your full name here: Karl Larsen
    Signing code: 6314c512cb565e955aec16204c1fad48
    E-mail: k5di@xxxxxxxxxx
    Date: 2007-12-18 17:00:49.46

As you can see I did that. Then your supposed to sign this file with your GPG key using a gpg call. Here is what happened.

	At first it would error out with a complaint that a default was wrong. This went on for some time but then it seemed to work. It asked me for my password which I gave it and it made a new file that looks like this:

fedora-icla-karl.txt.gpgfedora-icla-karl.txt.gpg This file is not what Fedora wants. I sent it in and it sent an error email back. This file is a binary file now and I have no way to read it. The file that is expected is fedora-icla-karl.asc but on F8 I don't get that. A question. Does anyone get the desired file on F8? This might be another problem.
Karl

	OK. I wrote a file as you suggested using -a and the file is now ascii readable and the name of the file is:

fedora-icla-karl.txt.asc

and the file looks like this:

[karl@k5di ~]$ more fedora-icla-karl.txt.asc

	I sent this file back in exactly the way it was asked and I got this email back:

With regards to "Re: Fedora Individual Contributor License Agreement".

Your message could not be processed.

Reason:

The signature could not be processed.  The signature may have been created or attached improperly, it might not match the key ID you have registered in the Account System, or the public key may not have been found on the key server.  For guidance, please see the following page:

It refers me to the wiki where I was before many times.

A little progress but still not right.
