Hey gang,

This is just a reminder, for those using GPG, make sure you sign the public 
keys of those people in your keyring. This is a step that gets missed, even I 
neglect to do this. I've got a pile of people in my keyring but only a few of 
them have signed my key (and re-submited to their keyserver).

This is part of the 'Web of Trust' and becomes indispensable as you deal with 
more people using GPG.

Szemir and I discovered that older versions of Kmail only support inline 
OpenPGP as the Cryptographic method, which if you are sending as OpenPGP/MIME 
instead gets interpreted wrong and the recipient cannot decrypt your message. 
Well not in Kmail anyway. You may copy the message text out and decrypt it 
from a console or Kgpg's editor, but it's more fussy that way.

So, be sure you check with your recipients as to what Encryption method their 
email client supports.

Okay, now you can razz Szemir about updating his KDE. ;)
