Thanks Jeff, this gives me the key in an easy way. Under evolution I click on the padlock icon and it gives me the key id, I can then use that keyid to grab from the central server. Cool this works. Example line: gpg: Signature made Wed Oct 15 22:42:53 2003 EST using DSA key ID FF50E0A4 So I use FF50E044 (Don't it does not work just an example) The interesting thing is that the key is still not trusted. Is this where I have to join a trusted key ring like slug? gpg: checking the trustdb gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner. -- Thanks KenF OpenOffice.org developer -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
