You need to tell gpg to automatically download other people's keys from the public keyservers wwwkeys.pgp.net et al. Add these lines to your ~/.gnupg/options: keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve And GnuPG should start downloading keys as it needs them. > The error is slightly different when I try it on my own messages, here > is what it says: > > for other people's signatures: > > gpg: armor header: Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) > gpg: armor header: Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org > gpg: Signature made Mon Oct 7 09:24:40 2002 CDT using DSA key ID > 720D3195 > gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found I'm fairly sure this is because you don't have a copy of their key around to verify against. The above lines will download keys if you don't already have them, hopefully fixing this. > for my own message: > > gpg: armor header: Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) > gpg: Signature made Thu Oct 10 16:51:28 2002 CDT using DSA key ID > DD740AED > gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found No idea about this. Presumably your keyring contains at least your own key, but... -rob
