Greetings all;
I would like at some point to be able to use some sort of verification, even encryption for some of my emails.
But the msg from Ken Heard displays the start of my problem, in that no matter how I configure kmail on the crypto tab, any message bearing a signature will be displayed at first with a checking signature message, then nominally 1 second later, will either change to a yellow bar say not enough information, or a red bar that says its bad. It has never, ever shown me that its a good signature.
So, how do I proceed to bring this feature into the appropriate RFC compliance and properly functioning?
Thanks.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
Hi Gene,
when you configure Identity - go to the encryption tab and select proper key for signing and encrypting messages. Select OpenGPG/MIME as preffered encryption type.
When you get the key of your peer - open Kgpg and configure to point to a sever or import the key of the peer and mark it as trusted. This also apply to your own key. Right now I am not sure if one should sign the key, so that it would be treated as secure by kmail. Perhaps one would correct me here. In any case the key of your peer should be marked as green in kgpg.
I hope this helps

From what I've read, self-signed keys are pretty much bad dog, no biscuit. I'll see what I can hack up when I have both eyes open at the same time. Up too early and out the door for a Dr's appointment for the missus this morning. Need nap now. :)
Thanks.
