I don't think there's one best way - the keyid (like below), a pointer to a key on the net or a URL to search a keyserver e.g. http://www.keyserver.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA9DE69F8 Whatever. I'm not sure what headers you mean but I don't think it's anything to do with PGP itself - probably the mailer. Mutt (like exmh) integrates quite nicely with PGP and will lookup a key from a keyserver (if configured) when it encounters a signature. -- Alastair | alastair@calliope.demon.co.uk | http://www.calliope.demon.co.uk | PGP Key : A9DE69F8 -------------------------------------------------------------------
