here you go:

root at deviltracks:~# /usr/lib/gnupg/gpg-wks-client --receive --send < 
pgp_snippet.txt
gpg-wks-client: t2body for level 0
gpg-wks-client: processing mail failed: Unexpected message


that doesn't seem to work when i cut out just the pgp message portion. 
also see attached snippet file.

i understand about the root thing. in production root isn't used.

as for you having an account, would you be needing it on the test 
"client", email server, or both? i will contact you later after i'm off 
my day job and we can set something up if you wish. i should also state 
this is by no means critical. i'm just experimenting for my own personal 
use. so any help is greatly appreciated and i don't really mind how long 
it takes.
