-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I don't think I've encrypted it, have I? I just signed it. Is that the same
thing? Anyway, there's a menu option "Attach" and from there you can either
attach the key or append it. This only shows up when I'm composing a message.
If I could figure out how to do a screen shot I would send you a pic of my
tool bar, which also has an icon for signing the message (it's next to the
padlock icon). In the Configure control panel, you can set your security
options there as well.

My trouble at first was setting up the key itself. I was able to get GPG
installed, but creating the key was another story. It took long time, and
suggested that I do as much "random" action as possible to create as much
entropy as possible. (Wow) I don't have a clue about decrypting an encrypted
message.

I'm going to send this encrypted to the list as well. How do I send my public
key fingerprint to allow for it to be decrypted?
