So much for "being easier > because keys are automatically embedded in the signatures." Well I was referring to the following 10 years old bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209182 I have the feeling this is a design decision by "philosophy": thunderbird/semonkey don't encourage the use of self-signed certificates (BTW I just learn that there is a add-on, key-manager which generates self-signed certificates, similar as it seems to me to the BAT. At first I thought that I need to use openssl in order to extract your cert and import in under authorities like openssl pkcs7 -in MFPA.p7 -inform DER -print_certs > out.cert (Which would be bad, because command line openssl is not what the average user would call, comfortable and windows users have to install openssl a part) However it is not necessary I just export our signature as a pem file and import in under authorities. Still this is very uncomfortable... regards Uwe Brauer BTW, I see you switched back to pgp, but why do you use old inline mode and not pgpmine?
