No, I have not mailed them, but I am going to CC them this message. but I have found looking for it at Google that there IS a compatibility problem: "....PGP 5.0i isn't able to clearsign a message if this message contains 8-bit characters (like german umlauts). Therefore the developers of KMail programmed a work around. The message is first signed with a detached signature and then a clearsigned message is composed as follows:...." "... If a mail (or something else) you want to sign contains 8-bit characters PGP 5.0i always generates a type 0x00 signature (a signature of a binary document). Therefore GnuPG can't handle it correctly (and it doesn't have to)...." Conclusion: - This is off-topic, but how can I migrate my keys to GnuPG? - Do I need to revoke my keys in the public keyserver and create new ones?. thanks in advance, Pablo de Vicente. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use MessageID: O/nROO2dr1O4AtY5KFE9Uc5HLEeTk4PA iQA/AwUBPaKxW0iLVKR5epCREQIGdgCeM7azjj1oFLP4u+uKPF35GIdl4IwAoKyR WJ/wmInc0sqm+dNTf5igbHru =QqhG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
