A friend of mine shared his gpg key with me and showed me some of the basics to using gpg, I uncommented the source line in my .muttrc to start using it and when I get to the post-compose/confirmation window where I can add attachments, I figured out how to add my key, I added my 8-charcater key and mutt changes it to a 10-character hexidecimal key. I'm not exactly sure if that is the right behavior but that isn't the larger issue. The larger issue is when I go to actually send the mail (y), mutt prompts for my key's password as expected but gpg always returns a bad password error. Did I miss something?
