Sign as or with "another user/key"? > (b)oth - presumably encrypts and signs the message Yes, both - sign & encrypt. > (i)nline - is this just the old-fashioned way of doing it? To the best of my knowledge as well, sign inline instead of attach. From what I understand, attaching is standard nowadays. > (c)lear - do nothing? I.e. I hit 'p' by mistake This I agree is misleading. Took me a month to figure-out this really meant "exit" and not my mislead interpretation of "clear sign"... although GNUPG doesn't have this option? Most of these option explanations can be found within the GNUPG (gpg) man page. -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/
