I'm using Evolution. Trying to send encrypted mail to someone whom I
have their keys, and have signed it.
When I try to send the email, I get the following error message:
gpg:using secondary key ******** instead of primary key ********
gpg: ********: There is no indication that this key really belongs to
the owner
gpg: [stdin]: encryption failed: unusable public key
I also try to send encrypted email to myself, and get the same error
message. =20
>From the command line, when attempting to encrypt a file, I get a
similar message:
It is NOT certain that the key belongs to the person named
in the user ID. If you *really* know what you are doing,
you may answer the next question with yes"
But I have signed the key.
I've checked the FAQ's, done a search on this, and nothing seems to be a
suitable response, mostly all of the solutions I have found suggest I
sign the key. But, I've done that:
gpg --lsign-key wendy@pairowoodies.com
"Wendy Woudstra <wendy@pairowoodies.com>" was already signed by key
319CE936
Nothing to sign with key 319CE936"
Key not changed so no update needed."
So, I'm confused here! =20
Any suggestions?
