reviving GPG with mutt
A few months ago I moved my mutt installation and mail boxes over to a newer machine. I believe that my list of keys and all those other files and folders made the transfer safely but I unable to sign, with the passphrase i had set up on my old mail server. Where would gpg/pgp save all those keys I had gathered from signed email? What folder name? Please point me to the howto on getting this reconfigured to work. Thank You, Scott

Re: reviving GPG with mutt
Where would gpg/pgp save all those keys I had gathered from signed email? What folder name? should be in your /home/username/.gnupg folder. if you are using a GUI, you might have to go into properties and enable show hidden files in order to see it. Just a few SWAG's: the permissions on the folder might not allow you to use it, or maybe the keys have expired, in which case you wouldn't be able to use it. If this is the case, the solution(s): alter the permissions on the folder and/or update the expirations or generate new keys. Could be some other things as well... and I am certainly no expert! Good luck! -- Nothing is ever so bad that it couldn't be worse, and if it could be worse than it is, then maybe its not so bad! pgp5rMOR91JJG.pgp Description: PGP signature

Scott, I think we'll need some more information about your old and new systems. -- Breen Mullins breen.mull...@gmail.com
