Re: [Evolution] application/pgp support

[Ibukun Okitika <ibukun computer org>]

Dan,

I am using the 0.12.99 snapshot, and there appears to be PGP support. I
am not a PGP user, but your message was digitally signed and was
recognized by evolution as follows:

This message is digitally signed but can not be proven to be authentic.

gpg: /home/ibukun/.gnupg/secring.gpg: keyring created
gpg: /home/ibukun/.gnupg/pubring.gpg: keyring created
gpg: Signature made Sun 05 Aug 2001 02:07:07 PM CDT using DSA key ID
1F548D0C
gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found

The last line probably means I don't have your key on my computer or
something...I'm not familiar with gpg and digital signatures. But I
would suggest upgrading to the latest snapshot.
