My method is to pull the sig out of the message and pass it to gpg saying "go verify /dev/null with this". The result is inevitably "BAD signature", of course, but the important side-effect is to fetch the key if I don't already have it. Exim's filtering functions and the occasional bit of shellscript handle all my needs (and have readable syntax :-) ), so I've never looked at procmail myself. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
