Re: Encrypting email

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I have 1.4.1 on ubuntu. When I do it from the command line, I have two
options for signing keys:

     --sign-key sign a key
     --lsign-key sign a key locally

"setting trust" I thnk is the same thing as signing a key - try that.
