When I look at this email in mutt, I see some lines about PGP output that do not come thru in the message copy above. These lines are: [-- PGP output follows (current time: Sat Nov 29 11:54:23 2003) --] gpg: Signature made Sat Nov 29 03:27:41 2003 MST using DSA key ID 8DE4D38E gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found [-- End of PGP output --] It appears that I have not set up the system for finding public keys. I think I should have entered the keyserver name, keys.pgp.net, into some config file. But which one? And what else do I need to do to get signatures verified? Thanks. -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
