Hello list,
I recently configured Thunderbird to digitally sign my emails using my
GnuPG key. It seemed to be working fine with the tests I made to my
other email address, however, I noticed an email I sent to this list was
unreadable from the archive [0]. Therefore, I assume something is wrong
with my setup since, from my understanding, nothing special is required
from the receiver's side to read signed (and not encrypted) messages.
Does anyone else on this list use Thunderbird with OpenPGP signatures
that could help me figure out why this is happening? The configuration
on Thunderbird is rather straight forward some I'm not sure what I
could've done wrong.
Do receivers have to accept/add my signature (which attaches itself to
my emails by default) before they can view my messages?
Strangely, the Gentoo User list archive has a small button at the button
"Find on MARC"; when I click this, my email is readable just fine [1].
This would indicate that perhaps the Gentoo archive isn't configured to
handle signatures, however I am not the only one on this list who signs
their emails, and other signed emails are readable just find on the
Gentoo archive.
Thanks,
Julien
