Thanks for the information - however something I have noticed is that if
I check your signature (and a couple of others on this list), it is
reported as "BAD". I am using Evolution 1.0.5 with gpg 1.0.6, and the
public key is imported into my keyring successfully. I have also noticed
that this is not the case with everybody - might this be a problem with
the mailing list appending itself to signed messages, or something else?
