Right that's what I meant.

Is it possible to add or edit comments on a uid? I didn't see any obvious
option in the help for edit.

Hi, it appears --digest-algo is ignored for symmetric encryption using gpg
1.4.9. I was able to verify --cipher-algo does work but for some reason no
matter what I specify for --digest-algo I always get RIPEMD160 as the hash
according to --list-packets and pgpdump. It's definitely looking at what I
Right then. Thanks Robert and Doug. Happy New Years to all! Cheers!

Hi,
Occasionally I get a big file of encrypted emails with mail headers
stripped out. All thats in the file is the begin and end PGP marks and all
the encrypted armored text in between. Some are encrypted to me, others to
my coworkers. Sometimes if I do gpg filename it finds all my mails and asks
13 matches
