I didn't follow this thread, just read this mail, my apologies assumed it was mentioned before. You could add an alias to your ~/.bashrc, so you only need to run gkey some_id [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep gkey ~/.bashrc alias gkey='gpg --keyserver hkp://pgp.uni-mainz.de --recv-keys' You could name the alias whatever you want, instead of "gkey". AFAIK it's also possible to retrieve keys automatically, but I would avoid doing this, since this is considered risky. You could add the following without the leading "#" to your ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep auto ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf # keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve Above this line a linen with a keyserver is required, e.g. keyserver hkp://pgp.uni-mainz.de Regards, Ralf _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
