Michael,

I use Kmail and at the top of your message, Kmail has added this:

 
Message was signed with unknown key 0xD2413F2019C59A30.
The validity of the signature cannot be verified.
Status: No public key to verify the signature  {the last
seven words are in italics.}

Now I _think_ that means that I do not have your public key on my
keyring. But is that your key?  I ask because I once encrypted a
file on this box with the _wrong_ key (I wasn't paying attention
when the software asked me if the selected key was the correct key.)
If I hadn't had another copy of the file stashed away I would have
been in a terrible mess.

Sean
