Full ACK.
I only use signing and ecryption if communicating with certain people, but it doesn't make sense to sign or encrypt to a mailinglist. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Collins Richey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 8:00 AM Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] GnuPG and missing public keys on keyservers > On Wed, 28 Jan 2004 01:32:24 -0500 > Phil Barnett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > > Hash: SHA1 > > > > On Wednesday 28 January 2004 12:52 am, James Lee wrote: > > > On Wed, 2004-01-28 at 05:32 +0100, lukas wrote: > > > > Have a look at my new signature! :) > > > > > > > > -- > > > > ** PGP-key available on keyserver pgp.mit.edu ** > > > > > > > > Please don't sign your public mail unless your > > > > PGP-key is available for everyone! > > > > > > I tried getting some people's public keys, but with every keyserver I > > > try to connect to it times out (I can still ping it, though).
