I would recommend upgrading. GnuPG currently comes in two 'flavors': the 1.4.x track, and the 2.0.x track. Speaking very broadly, 1.4.x is better for servers, while 2.0.x is more suited for desktop deployments. Which one you choose doesn't really matter so much, so long as you upgrade to either 1.4.11 or 2.0.17. :) Version 1.2.2 is *old* -- like eight years old. It doesn't track the latest changes to the OpenPGP standard, and many bugfixes have come and gone since then. > 2) Do I need to upgrade to a more recent version of GPG?

Gpg4win may be in version 2.1, but the version of GnuPG shipped with it is 2.0.17 (I believe). Existing key files and so forth may be migrated to a 2.x installation quite easily. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
