I use GPG to sign my emails. I'd like to be able to sign them and have a user with a windows machine and PGP be able to verify the signature. However, PGP doesn't seem to be able to recognize the GPG signature.how so?
Well, we use Microsoft Exchange as the Mail server and Outlook as the client. Outlook sees the message itself, but the GPG signature arrives as an attachment (signature.asc) ... I have been very unsuccessful in forcing it to not attach... I was under the impression that the signature should be ascii... Any idea why it's showing up as an attachment?
no, but what parameters would you call gpg with different from what we already do?
Not sure yet .. was wondering so I could start playing with the parameters in an effort to get this to work in an expected manner.
we don't tell gpg to use any gpg.conf file, but gpg does still check it's own config settings in ~/.gnupg/options if that is what you mean?
Yes, that's basically what I mean ... Apparently GPG changed since 1.0.7 (which is what RH8.0 ships with) and is supposed to now use a gpg.conf file rather than options. Although, it still read options if it's there...
not really, no. other than "Always trust" which sends the --always-trust option to gpg.
*nod*
because gpg implements the Pretty Good Privacy specification. the name wasn't chosen by which executable it runs, but rather the specification it implements.
Oh, ok ... :) Was just curious... You have a FAQ question explicitly stating that Evolution no longer supports PGP, but still call it PGP within the program ... Just a little confusing... I get the point of it though...

Thanks for the info ...
