-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 David,
Thanks for the prompt reply. Another difference that I have noticed is that sometimes FireGPG notifies me that a message I have signed is not valid. That seems strange to me because: (a) it only happens intermittently and (b) FireGPG is the program that is doing the actual signing. Of course, this could be an issue with FireGPG and not with my key situation. Encypting and decrypting appear to work fine. The output of gpg --list-keys and gpg --list-secret-keys print out what I would expect. Would you say there probably is not a problem? I'm having a difficult time imagining where the source of error might come from. The only thing I can think of is the extracting of the public key.
