The reason for this is some of you don't seem to have published your public keys anywhere, meaning people can't verify your signature. This makes the whole procedure of dutifully signing your e-mails pointless.
Not entirely, and the remedy doesn't entirely fix it either. For all that, it is wise to upload keys to the servers, so that if people wish to send something secret to you, and believe tht to be you and that key to be yours, they can expect to do so. You have to think very hard about what the purpose of these keys is, and what a keyserver can do for you, and avoid thinking that anyone whose key is automatically recognised having been found on the key servers is therefore trustworthy, Shall we have a ky-signing some time? Thus matching keys to faces. -- From one of the Linux desktops of Dr Adrian Midgley http://www.defoam.net/ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
