iota, this step (file > export) exports your public key not your private key. in SeaHorse in Tails, you can export the public key as .asc and .pgp but you can't export the private key as .pgp. SeaHorse in Tails is preventing export as .pgp, either because of a bug or intentionally. which one is it? _______________________________________________ Tails-dev mailing list [email protected] https://www.autistici.org/mailman/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to [email protected].
