And there is PGPNET 
which is an encrypted discussion group - members send messages signed
and encrypted to all the members). You subscribe by emailing
 and replying to the email yahoo
sends you (unless you want to join with a Yahoo ID). For new members,
Yahoo's group emails default to a heavily HTML-polluted format that
does not play nice with pgp-inline encrypted messages, but once you
have joined an email to  removes
this silliness.

Don't send encrypted messages to random users to test your gpg

2017-05-29 Thread Duane Whitty 
Hi list,

When I checked my email this morning I had an encrypted message from
someone I didn't know and had never heard of signed with a signature for
which no public key was available.

When I saw the email with a subject "test, test, hello" (or something to
that effect" I decided not to let Thunderbird/Enigmail process it but
rather I copy and pasted the cypher text into a file and used the
command line to look at it..

The message and relevant gpg output was:

"Subject: test, test - hello

hey, i hope you don't mind - I just wanted to test using GPG and I
picked you at random."

gpg: Signature made Mon 29 May 2017 02:59:23 AM ADT
gpg:using RSA key (deleting for email to list)
gpg: Can't check signature: No public key"

To the person who sent me this my reply is that yes I do mind.  I tend
to believe no harm is intended and I'm not terribly upset over it but I
consider it to be bad Internet etiquette.  It would be only a little
more acceptable if you had published your public key so that the
signature you used to sign with could at least be verified.

Having hashed that out welcome to the community :-)

To test your setup try this link, https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org/en/
I haven't used it myself but unless someone from the list knows why it
shouldn't be used it should fine.

I also highly recommend reading https://www.gnupg.org/faq/gnupg-faq.html

The above links are just to get started.  Happy pgp'ing

Best Regards,
Duane
