Some of you in IRC may have heard today about how I recently signed up
for a very non-technical mailing list for musicians, and how one person
(who was actually running Linux & KMail!) had made the typical newbie
complaint about my OpenPGP signatures. The difference, in his case, is
that his mail client was working just fine and warning him that he
didn't have my key so it couldn't verify the authorship of the message
being displayed. I sent him a one line command that would fix his
problem ( wget --quiet -O -
http://yonderway.com/hedemark.asc | gpg
--quiet --import ) and got back a bunch of bile & vinegar.
I was going to write up a FAQ to send to people with broken
configurations that complain about my standards-compliant email until I
ran across this little gem. Maybe you'll enjoy it, too.
