Without doing the diagnostics, I do know that other signed messages are handled properly, almost always with the warning that the key isn't known. Two issues arising:: 1. Does Evolution have any tools or support for downloading public keys etc? I've used such a capability in other email clients. Do I need to learn how to use gpg directly at the command line? 2. How can I get a later version of the binary for Evolution? My Debian-based distro (LMDE) offers only 3.30.5-1.1.
