Thanks!

OK, I get that, but the key file from the link David provided (and
which was also in his reply to the email announcing 2.3.16):

 <http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x12F5F7B42F2B01E7>

is not identical to the "Security mailing list GPG key" I just
downloaded from the "sig" page.

Is that a problem?

(Sorry if this is something that's common knowledge.)

Best regards,

Jon
