If my memory is correct, GPG is a just a type of wrapper for PGP in
Linux. May I suggest going into your Bat! under tools/PGP/ and opening
up key manager. Once it is open, right click on your key, and copy it
(your key) to your email itself. The problem may be that he is using
an older version of GPG and is having trouble with the armor file
format instead of the actual pasted type of key. Or, it could be that
he cannot accept RSA keys as the TB! internal PGP only generates this
older type of key. I use PGP 6.52 (freeware) for UNIX/Linux when I am
in that OS, and that supports both types of keys, RSA and the newer
Dif/Hillman, and have had no trouble.
