Send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] That is a mailing list dedicated to PGP newbies and there are a lot of folks willing to help. > 3 Is it advisable to upload your keys to a key server. There are pros and cons. The main pros are that the key is right there on a public keyserver and it's easily available to anyone who wants it. The main cons are that anyone can download that key, sign it without your permission and upload it again with whatever signature they please. In practice, this doesn't often cause problems. People don't usually sign keys unless they mean it and the key owner has sanctioned the signing. -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator SB! v2.01.28 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 '
