Re: PGP signature
When you select to verify the key of another your PGP should automatically scan the public key servers for that individuals key. Once located a box should pop up with the key information and you should hit SELECT then IMPORT. Once you have imported the key open PGPKeys and select that key then select SIGN. If you have configured your PGP properly is should then attempt to connect to a public key server and update that signed key.

The %- at the end of a line tells TB to forget the Enter immediately following the %-. A %- at the beginning or in the middle of a line does nothing. Therefore Melissa's macro was looking for this: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED While it ought to look for -BEGIN PGP SIGNED However Melissa also stated that it ought to be put in one long line, that makes all %- macros rather useless, but it has the effect that the macro works, because there are no faulty line breaks. -- Groetjes, Roelof Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re: PGP signature removal?
Allie Martin, We wonder why other clients never incorporate some of the no brainer features of TB!. I wonder the same about this feature of PMMail. Exactly right. Good P G P support is one reason I bought Bat. Among other things, I use digital signatures to verify consulting contracts with clients worldwide. My only wish for Bat would be better integration with Gnu P G. Such as a) customizable locations for the Gnu EXE that don't depend upon PATH environment var b) key manager c) integrated Gnu P G distribution/setup with Bat (not an internal implementation of Gnu P G though) -- for setup convenience of inexperienced dummy users who are totally confused by the Gnu P G web sites and public key systems generally -- so that they never have to even look at a Gnu P G website to use it Regards.

Well, at least it could mean something to those who understand its reason for being. True :) I understand their meaning and still think it's a forest of crap. Even if I thought signing messages in a public forum were a brilliant idea, I'd still think it's noise, because it's metadata, not actual message. It belongs in the same category as all the header information that we care about, but don't really need to see. Thanks for the tips. I don't understand that template you gave me very well, but I'm sure I won't remain ignorant for long. (That's not a cry for help, I'm off to the documenation now.) BTW I'm pretty sure some other mailers (Mozilla? KMail?) hide the PGP/GnuPG/OpenPGP metadata from view (which is all I want, not to see it removed), and it seems like a pretty good idea for TB!

So here I am. And now I want to post my solution for the benefit of anyone else who runs across it: I erased my hard drive a month or so ago; it's something I do periodically to make Windows loose some weight (usually 50% if it's a six-months old installation. I try out a lot of software). After I did this, of course, I re-installed my apps (Including TheBat!) and filled in the mail base from another copy. When I set up the bat I did point it, as always, to my proper keyrings and randseed file. Alas, I forgot to check the box that indicates that I'm using version 6. SO, it was trying to use the version 6 keyrings according to the "internal" method. Neither the public nor the private keyring contained anything it could recognize---and all signatures came up as invalid.
