Of course, you won't automatically retrieve keys, but it will speed things up. You can also just leave it the way it is and send it an interrupt (^C) any time it lags to skip the key retrieval (and the signature verification) and just show the message. See man gpg for info on the --no-auto-key-retrieve option. -- Vineet http://www.anti-dmca.org Unauthorized use of this .sig may constitute violation of US law. echo Qba\'g gernq ba zr\! |tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M'
