Yes I installed the gnupg package. OK, thanks for the heads-up regarding
'options.skel'. It's been copied over to the appropriate directory.

I also got the gpg.rc file, and referenced it to my muttrc. I'm still
getting the errors about not finding the key, however, when I attempt to
sign.

In my options file, I stated my default key in the following format:

default-key F8A48DF1

Is this the proper syntax?


Is there a good SxS for this anywhere. Any I'm found, don't really go
through this step x step. I followed one, and it didn't even mention an
"options" file.

I guess failing there being a SxS, I'll have to write one -- once I get
this working that is...

OK, Still not for me though. :) I'm learning though. Thanks for the
help.
