But I have only one key. I put in my ID under "security". I left the SHA valute to choose my key (I think). Can anyone clarify this for me, please?You CANNOT simply paste a signed message into Evo and expect the signature to be valid. The signature covers the entire message, including the headers Evo adds before sending, so doing this absolutely guarantees that the signature will be bad. To use signed messages in Evo, simply click on PGP Sign (or S/MIME sign if you have the certificate), then hit Send. There's nothing mysterious about it and messing around with cut and paste from a terminal session is completely unnecessary. poc
Thank you! Exactly the answer I was looking for. (We've all been amateurs at some point, I guess). Someone told me that the signature is attached as a separate file, and that they can't open it nor view it. I guess I was expecting my letters to look like they do in the terminal when using --clearsign. When I receive letters, the always starts with a Hash: SHA -heading. I guess I just thought that my letters would look like that too. Thank you for your patients. By learning I too can help other in the future while promoting Evolution.
