This thread beguns with my problem singing my own mails (mails that I send) using kmail. Now I can do it. Obviously, I trust in my own key, and the only I had to do was set apropiate options in kmail profile setup. By now, I don't sign/encrypt mails with other's keys, so I don't need to trust them (nor sign them). This because I don't have other people's key who I need to sen private mails (encrypted). Anyway, thanks for all your interest and information. Now I know a little bit more about this matter, and of course, I'll read GnuGpg docs. - -- - ----------------------------------+--------------------------- Jos� Manuel P�rez Fuente | Universidad del Pa�s Vasco Punto Neutro EuskoNIX (UPV/EHU) | E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Plaza Elhuyar, 1 (Edif.
