Well, I use KMail, which is nice. I first installed KGPG, which works to encrypt and sign messages and files. Create a key there. Then KMail pretty much works next to KGPG really well. Upload your key a few keyservers via right clicking on the KGPG icon in the system tray. This is assuming you use KDE, though. I don't know how to do it in Gnome. > All that said, where is that guide you were using?? I need one if I am > going to set this up for mine too. As far as the reference I used, it was for how to organise a keysigning party. It still has a great deal of relevant information though. http://www.cryptnet.net/fdp/crypto/gpg-party.html I also found http://www.cryptnet.net/fdp/crypto/gpg-party.html#ss5.1 very useful. I didn't read it all the way through, so I don't know how much more info it has that I don't know about. Enjoy! > Thanks No problem. I just hope they can start integrating this stuff into GMail, so that when I'm not using my laptop and rather using GMail's excellent web interface I can enjoy the same key signing as I do here. The really cool thing about all this is that when I used Windows and (GASP) Outlook (not for long - I couldn't stand its overpowering bloatedness) the only way to sign or encrypt was with a key issued from some massive corporation or the Post Office. $15. I didn't need it that bad, so I didn't get it. Here, with the GPG stuff, it's free! This is so cool... If I'm ever able I'll try hosting a keyserver too, though that'll happen only when I have the raw bandwidth to do so : (
