That's what I thought too originally, until I tried to use it.

(and a change from having a key you didn't use in email too!)

As I thought - Mozilla/GnuPG doesn't seem to work as transparently as the 
plugin would have you believe. I can't say if majordomo has affected it, but 
signed emails using the 'old' standard of plain text (via e.g. KMail) have 
worked and continue to work, signed emails using Mime (via e.g. evolution) 
also work transparently on the list and are even preserved in the MhonArc 
mailing list archive as separate .pgp files. What happened to your enigmail 
signed post is an enigma.

:-))

Please try again. (Perhaps send me 1 signed email and 1 encrypted email off 
list and I'll reply in the same manner, if it works.)

Interestingly, keyid 8f455606 wasn't on my keyserver, but I found it and I've 
uploaded to keyserver.linux.it now.
