*snort* Lazy! Now I have to go to all of the work of detaching it somewhere... Sheesh ;-) Results: - When I just hit return to view the message without any prep, I of course see the signature in the body. Also as expected, when I hit esc-P the index view changes to add an 's'. - When I read the message (with $p_v_s=yes) gpg runs and verifies the signature and I get the standard gpg output at the top of the body. - When I go back to the index I still have 's'. - Exiting and starting again, this time manually setting $p_v_s=no, is not only, admittedly, faster to open the message but I do indeed get an 'S' -- even in my little $pager_index_lines window the veritable instant I view the message. The only gpg stuff I get, meanwhile, are the BEGIN and END lines. - Just for fun, bailing and then going through the steps above without the restart in the middle yields the same results ('' to 's' to 'S'), and (just as when I tried it before bailing out of session #2 above) even setting $p_v_s=yes again does not change the 'S' back to 's'. I trust that this provides you sufficient detail... % % > Note that viewing *this* message did not change the 's' to 'S' even % > though I have verification on and the signature was good because I have % > not signed my copy of your key.

How very interesting. OK, I conclude that I have no idea what s/S signifies! :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
