Nobody can encrypts files for you if your public key doesn't contain encrypt subkey. > And thus, is the sub-key > used automatically? ..

The subkey will be used automatically. You just have to export your public key again and your partners have to import it (only this subkey will be really imported). Without encrypting subkey the Thunderbird (Enigmail) will abe able only check your signature but nobody will be able to encrypt email for you. -- Ladislav Hagara _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
