Please see my posting of 5 minutes ago to get RSA working. You do
bring up a good point, though. GPG will *not* use an unsigned key.
You'll see output like the following:
[-- PGP output follows (current time: Mon Nov 22 16:54:17 1999) --]
gpg: Signature made Wed Aug 11 11:36:48 1999 MDT using RSA key ID 98645519
gpg: requesting key 98645519 from pgp5.ai.mit.edu ...
gpg: public key is 43099 seconds newer than the signature
gpg: key 98645519: invalid self-signature
gpg: public key is 43476 seconds newer than the signature
gpg: key 98645519: invalid self-signature
gpg: key 98645519: no valid user IDs
gpg: this may be caused by a missing self-signature
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: w/o user IDs: 1
gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found
[-- End of PGP output --]

P.S.
Jeremy, you should sign your key. ;-)
