doesn't work, ;-(( (does it need any additional input? ) here is the command line output (using cygwin): first, with the existing option of default-key 0x5AA20C866A589A97 $ gpg --clearsign c:/r/1234.txt gpg: using subkey 04ADEE20 instead of primary key 6A589A97 You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for user: "vedaal nistar (preferred e-mail address) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" gpg: using subkey 04ADEE20 instead of primary key 6A589A97 4096-bit RSA key, ID 04ADEE20, created 2001-04-26 (main key ID 6A589A97) Enter passphrase: now with the option of default-key !0x5AA20C866A589A97 $ gpg --clearsign c:/r/1234.txt gpg: no default secret key: secret key not available gpg: c:/r/1234.txt: clearsign failed: secret key not available putting the ! in front of the keyid caused an inability to identify the key, rather than parsing the '!' as an option for the default keyid of 0x5AA20C866A589A97 what did you to to get it to work on your system?
