You can use either the key id or the key fingerprint as arg for '--search-keys' and friends. See 'man gpg' for details.
Albrecht, I didn't mean that Balsa's Key fingerprint is wrong, I mean that Balsa's presentation of it is hostile. Compare this:
1. cmd line $ gpg2 --search-keys albrecht dress arcor de | grep DSAgpg: поиск "albrecht dress arcor de" на hkp сервере subkeys.pgp.net Keys 1-1 of 1 for "albrecht dress arcor de". 1024 bit DSA key D027FFD1, создан: 2002-04-15
2. Thunderbird: see a shot 2. seahorse: see a shot 3. Balsa: see a shotIf a user wants to verify the fingerprint by looking at it, then it is easy with Seahorse, TB and even with cmdline gpg, but not with Balsa.
If I am wrong and the Key fingerprint is shown for different purposes, then please clarify, because, you know, I am still new in Mail encryption/verification software.
That's what I mean. Regards, -- Ildar Mulyukov, free SW designer/programmer ================================================ email: ildar users sourceforge net blog: http://johan-notes.blogspot.com/ ALT Linux Sisyphus ================================================
