Hell yes it does! Excellent, Scott! Very clever! This was the first
digitally signed message that ever came through cleanly in my OE. I'm
reading this extremely enlightening thread in parallel with KMail and OE,
just to look what happens. Will post from the KMail client later to report
if there are any differences.

Err, if you could elaborate a teeny weeny bit more on that, I can try
getting this to work on my Gentoo desktop like you grownups out there. :-)

By the way, this may well be a FAQ and I expect getting told off for this,
what do I do if I switch machines very often? Can I copy keys from one PC to
the other, or do I create a key per PC?
