Hi
I thought I might just share this little nugget with you all - I have
been trying for a LONG time to get PGP up and running because in my
various roles it was becoming a little embarrasing to have to admit
that I hadn't managed it..
I set up my keys, integrated them into a public keyring from the
Sowerby unit got my key authenticated by Pete Horsefield and John
Williams and asked them to send me test messages which I have been
unable to read for the past 3 months !!
I kept getting 'error in ascii armour messages' - I tried various
front ends as well as reintalling 2.62 from different sites to no
avail - same error every time. I tried clipboard, saving to a file etc
no different.
MY thanks go to Pete Horsfield who gets the first gp-uk "Gold anorak
and bar" award for spotting the problem.
If you use Pegasusas a mailer it messes up the last line of the PGP
block so that it looks like this :
bNzSQXF27aG0JVoJK19tRWjXYz3THI6nkKUwntJJP0f8l5hx =tb1S -----END PGP MESSAGE-----
It should look like this:
bNzSQXF27aG0JVoJK19tRWjXYz3THI6nkKUwntJJP0f8l5hx
=tb1S
-----END PGP MESSAGE-----
I thought PGP was clever enough to ignore CR/NL but obviously not !!
So now I need to find out why Pegasus 2.23 does this and maybe risk an
upgrade to the 32 bit version..... ???
