Ah, I see it. Unfortunately in order to get there, have to view a key's properties, which triggers the download. Also it seems to be a per-key setting, so I would have to do this for every key in my keyring. Also, the setting doesn't seem to be stored anywhere: if I unset it, then view the key's properties a second time it shows up as being set. I also ran into a practical problem while trying it. If I view the properties of a key with lots of signatures the interface locks up for a while... now that I know it's downloading other keys I waited patiently... after a while it seemed to give up or time out and the interface became reponsive again. But the treeview that lists the keys that have signed this key disappeared, along with the 'only display the signature of people I trust' checkbox! Needless to say, I think this feature needs to be reworked. ;) I don't really see the use of it at all--since as you say, I would end up with the entire keyserver database in my keyring... -- Sam Morris http://robots.org.uk/ PGP key id 1024D/5EA01078 3412 EA18 1277 354B 991B C869 B219 7FDB 5EA0 1078
