Re: Re: Unverifiable Signature on Debian Security Advisory Emails
My sincerest apologies to the List and also to Sebastien Delafond.
The initial missive in this thread was meant as a continuing private
email communication between myself and Mr. Delafond with regards to
issues I was having with Enigmail/Thunderbird (in Slackware Linux) and
the inability of these applications to verify Mr. Delafond's signature
or import his public key from any of the keyservers on my Enigmail list.
I accidentally replied to the list rather than Mr. Delafond's private email.
While this has caused no great harm, since Mr. Delafond and I were not
discussing our next attempt to hack Sony's corporate servers
(wink-wink), it still falls into the realm of email faux pas. I've been
around the block a few times. I should know better than to hit "reply"
without double checking who it is exactly that I'm replying to; hence
the current apology.
On the plus side, though, it seems to have initiated a constructive
discussion here with regards to this issue. That's always a good thing,
I believe. I have not, as of yet, resolved this issue and that's OK.
It's not a matter of extreme import to me; more an anal-retentive issue
than a real problem. I don't like unverifiable sigs in email. It's
security thing, you know. ;)
I'll attempt to manually import S. Delafond's pub-key. Once that is
obtained, I can force Enigmail to recognize the sig in future list
emails. Anyway, thanks for the understanding and the interesting
discourse on this thread.
