A very important moral there.

Another is to also carefully check if other applications or system
settings are interfering when others cannot duplicate your 'bug'. ;-)

Re: PGP signature verification: always get invalid signature format

2000-10-25 Thread Tony A. T. Mendina

Tony A. T. Mendina [EMAIL PROTECTED] said at 11:57 PM on 10/24/2000:

 This kind of think came up this time last year, and though the
 discussion on how to transliterate Russian names was interesting, I
 couldn't find a solution in the archives. 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.

Moral of the story: check all your settings carefully when you
discover a "bug!"

Tony
