It's more or less solved: on the one hand, I took advive from D-Man and Nate Johnston and set mutt's "pgp_sign_as" to "0x07182FBC", on the other uplaoded my key "manually" to http://certserver.pgp.org. Seems OK now. Just wondering what happens if the uploaded versions should ever conflict... Thanks for your help, please report any problems back to me. Andre Berger [andre.berger@topmail.de]
