I'm reading the list with KMail 1.5, KDE 3.1-10, RHL9. Your previous
emails, before you changed, were marked:
<snip>
Message was signed with unknown key 0x6B54C38F.
The validity of the signature cannot be verified.
</snip>
at the top of the message, in a yellow bar. Additionally, there was a
light yellow background to the message, and a yellow bar line that
said:
<snip>
End of signed message
</snip>
at the end of the message, but before the list-added footer.
That, to me, is exactly what I should see.
However this message doesn't show up as signed at all, though it has an
unnamed text attachment at the end with a KWrite icon next to it. When
I click on the icon, I can open the PGP signature block in KWrite. As
far as I'm concerned, this is NOT what I should see, but may be more
reasonable for list distribution.
Personally I've held off on signed email for myself until some of these
issues are resolved. We still have a long way to go, unfortunately,
before signed email can become "automatic".
