I just got PGP (v. 6.5.2) back on my Linux box, and seem to have
forgotten how it's supposed to work.
If I write a note to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and ask to encrypt and sign it, I get a
prompt for the key ID of '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Pressing the return gets me a
list of the public keys in my public key ring, with a '+' next to my
entry, but *no* entries for bob, even though I know his key is on the
ring. My one 'successful' attempt at the encrypt and sign operation
resulted in me encrypting the message to myself, which carries the
concept of eyes-only just a tad too far, wouldn't you agree? :^)
What gives? Something simple, I guess, as I have not absorbed any
coffee yet today. :^)
Cheers...
P.S. I'm signing this note with my new key. My old key (ca 1994) has
been revoked, the key for which is on the PGP page of my web site. My
"new" key seems to behave well with PGP, but key servers have a bad time
with it...if anyone can shed light on this latter issue, I'd appreciate
it.
