Robert:
  I tried to respond directly to you at <aleAT sixit.com> and my
email bounced with this message:

"Connected to 64.202.166.12 but sender was rejected.
Remote host said: 554 refused mailfrom because of SPF policy"

So now I have a new question:  What is an "SPF policy"?

Thanks for the reply.  As best I can tell the entire pgp package
still works just fine.  I can encrypt a file and decrypt it 
without trouble. So I don't think I have a corrupt key.  Somehow
Kmail has gotten itself disconnected from the process somehow. I
have gone through the configure pages for Kmail and nothing pops
out at me as being wrong.

So I am still clueless. :(
