Yes, all you need is their public key. There is an app in GNOME for that: Seahorse "Passwords and Keys". If the public key appears in Seahorse it should work in Evolution for message encryption. There is also a tab in Edit->Preferences->Certificates->Contact -Certificates which lists the available certificates. > > If you want to read encrypted messages you send, then you need to > > use your public key along with the recipient's when encrypting it. > - And how do I do that?

Your own AND the recipients; then you retain the capability to read the message. That is what the forementioned "always encrypt to myself when sending encrypted messages" option does. >>> Also, I was not asked for my password before >>> sending the encrypted email, which is a bit strange, right? >> No. You keyring had already been unlocked (as it's part of the >> login process for Gnome) so your password wasn't requested again. Yep, keyring unlock is performed automatically at login. I believe if it sits long enough the unlock operation will require re -authentication. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awill...@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 OpenGroupware Developer <http://www.opengroupware.us/> _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
