I'm a little confused -- you mean that the text of Joe's email would not show because it was key-signed, but yet you were able to reply back to the list which contianed the text of Joe's email that wasn't shown? That is strange. I don't use nor am I familiar with Evolution, so I don't know how to answer your question except to agree with you that that seems wrong. It makes a lot more sense to show the text, with a colorized warning that the signing key is unknown or untrusted. I ran into a vaguely similar GnuPG issue just this evening. When replying to an encrypted email I was unable to send back an encrypted email using a key that I had both signed and marked as trusted becuase I had not specifically marked the specific UID (i.e. email address) as being trusted. This leads to some very interesting confusion, because most of the GUI programs view GnuPG keys as being either signed and/or trusted in an all-or-nothing manner. This left me in a confusing GUI dialog loop where I was repeatedly asked to choose a valid signed/trusted key, and the key for the individual in question showed as being both signed and trusted, yet was not accepted. I was able to figure out and fix the issue at the command line pretty quickly with 'gpg --edit-key', but that's the only place that made it clear what the problem was. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [email protected] > > On Fri, 2009-01-09 at 18:31 -0500, Joseph T Apuzzo wrote: > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > > Hash: SHA1 > > > > Came across this site by accident: > > > > http://linuxtracker.org/ > > > > Now an easy way to get that that CD or DVD you've been looking > > for quick! > > > > Joe > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > > Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) > > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > > > iEYEARECAAYFAkln3koACgkQsACJ4LtccWR/zgCdH6WYiiWLQ0hp1yG8wF/FbqbQ > > f7sAnjdOX3LpB7B2dq1yjj66FqDDMZRn > > =dGiq > > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Jan 7 - Ruby on Rails Feb 4 - TBD
