When I look at this email in mutt, I see some lines about PGP output that do not come thru in the message copy above. These lines are: [-- PGP output follows (current time: Sat Nov 29 11:54:23 2003) --] gpg: Signature made Sat Nov 29 03:27:41 2003 MST using DSA key ID 8DE4D38E gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found [-- End of PGP output --] It appears that I have not set up the system for finding public keys. I think I should have entered the keyserver name, keys.pgp.net, into some config file. But which one? And what else do I need to do to get signatures verified?
You can import keys manually just like gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 8DE4D38E for Karsten's key. If you want to have it done automatically one way is to enable a keyserver in your .gnupg/pgp.conf and enable keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve as well. Please make sure you do read the fine documentation at http://www.gnupg.org as otherwise your whole setup might quickly prove to be pointless. In particular read the section about the web of trust. Cheers, Flo
