Hey, new question, but totally within the confines of this thread! grin Is there any configuration in GPG that when I decrypt a message it asks for the ID of the key to decrypt with. I'd think this should be automatic rather than me having to remember my work key ID being 0x06C0AB16B and having to type that in each time. -- Leif (TB list moderator and fellow end user).

It doesn't seem to matter what you type in the ID field as long as you type something.

Re: Help with TB and GPG
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Ah. So TB does not need a plugin to use GPG. Adding a plugin adds the key manager capability? Two more questions (I *really* appreciate the help): gpg: NOTE: old default options file `C:/data/Keyrings\options' ignored Is it safe to delete this folder? Or am I getting ready to shoot myself in the foot (again :-)? Second, when I sign from a different account than the one having the email address of my key, I need to override the dialog and enter the correct email address for key identification. Is there a way to set this key as the default?
