CR> Could you step by step it, please? :notworthy: wow, I'm not real good at PGP myself. You might want to join the Yahoo group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PGP-Basics/ that list has lots of intelligent people ( a few are on this list too:) that can answer all the tough PGP questions, and even help with testing setups, like encrypted messages, signing, etc. but basically, you call up PGPKeys, and see if you have the keyservers: keyserver.pgp.com europe.keys.pgp.com pgpkeys-EDIT-OPTIONS-servers then, when you get an email with the "?" in the message header area, you click on it, and if you don't have that key, it goes out to the keyservers and checks to see if it is there. NOT EVERYONE puts their keys on keyservers. Some people use the message headers, or their SIGS to show you how to get their keys. like mine. I have 2 ways to get my key. In some groups I use Xray to add a X-PGP-request header ( check my headers with F9 or CTRL-SHIFT-K ) for the web site my sig shows: pgp key: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]&Body=Please%%20send%%20keys so you send that message and my autoresponder sends you back my public key. you save that key to a .ASC file ( paulskey.asc , or something like that) then you go to PGPkeys, KEYS-IMPORT . and select that file. Next time you see a message from me, you click on the "?" and it will say VALID! -- Best regards, Paul ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
