Your correspondent also must be using S/MIME to be able to verify your signature, and to decrypt/encrypt using those certificates. gpg 2.* is S/MIME compliant. You should be able to import into Thunderbird the e-mail certificate that was issued to you by Thawte: go to Account Settings/Security, and try to use the available options.
Great! I think I've got it! (This msg should be MIME-signed with a Thawte certificationx)
As far as I am concerned, there's no ignorance here to be excused. I am an ignorant empirical user, and I may be as ignorant, or more than most of this list's learned members.
:-) Thanks ____ ramon
