-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Thanks so much! I think I understand the general concepts.
I've been "communicating" with Adele the OpenPGP robot, and I'm just having trouble encrypting. I got the public key through the Keyserver search, but I think I'm just missing the step activating the public key while writing a message. Sorry to be dense, but how do I do that with Enigmail?
