A good place to start is http://www.gnupg.org/docs.html That should help you generate a key pair, and get gnupg setup and working. I don't use evolution, so I can't help much there. In Kmail, there is a security option, which allows you to specify that all mail should be signed, to define the key used for the signature, etc. > When I see a digitally signed mail from, say, Michael Schwendt, I'm > invited to click on the "lock" icon which appears below the text of his > mail.

How can I point Evolution to the > right key servers? Pointing the gnupg config file at a key server should do the trick. It works with Kmail. However, if a key isn't on the server, it can lead to some large delays. It's generally easier to import the keys manually. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3} in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9p7enn/07WoAb/SsRAs2sAJ9f3pILUpRCIgo9vjgEnq3T+IjD+QCeIzx5 enFN8mlISBeN/5pmnEbQTig= =Y4It -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
