I never thought you were trying to make fun of me :-). The original commands had been indicated by Ben, I only tried to explain what would or should happen. > But as it looks the solution was rather simple. Do you mean the solution was to install GPGTools? Not simple for me. A while ago I installed a very previous release of GPGTools (I don't know which it was), believing it was a remake of Gpg Tools. I was wrong, it was GPGTools. The results were destructive, and it took me a lot of work to recover. I'm not even sure I have recovered totally, yet. As the for most updated release of GPGTools, I prefer to wait. I do not need all the components that GPGTools installs, I'd prefer to install some of them piecemeal, e.g. GPG Keychain Access (for control only), GPGMail (to have Apple's Mail interacting properly with MacGPG2, although I do not use GPGMail as my main crypto MUA) that is a great achievement of the GPGTools team (starting with Lukas Pitschl and others), and MacGPG2 that I install directly using the MacGPG2 installer. The concept of an all encompassing installer for PGP or GnuPG under MacOSX was gestated sometime at the turn of this century. It didn't go beyond gestation because PGP had inherent issues (I'm not going to get into details), and the developers of GnuPG for MacOSX, e.g. Gordon Worley, Simon Stapleton and many dedicated professionals that I can't remember now, pursued other aims for personal reasons. But I learned a lot from them. > You know, I have the biggest respect of both your knowledge of GPG as well as > your terminal skills. My "knowledge" of GnuPG is of the worst kind: it is empirical. I'm not a programmer, I have not studied Computer Sciences (I'm 79 years old). As I wrote in a separate e-mail, I dive into Terminal with every possible care I can muster. I have no Terminal skills, only the ability of using other people's skills, mainly Ben's, and information I can glean from *reliable* on-line searches. > I'm a total noob when it comes to terminal. Under MacOSX and Linux (I have a very superficial knowledge of Windows), there is *no* substitute to Terminal. > Have a nice day everybody :) Same to all.
