Enigmail imported a public key 598CAF689C6D998F, which I would bet a nickel is Jim's - but the message above returned "BAD signature from Jim Bell <jdb10987@yahoo.com <mailto:jdb10987@yahoo.com>>"
Curses, foiled again!
Yes, Yahoo as a email client is appearing to me to be increasingly frustrating. Years ago, I recognized that it was technically incompetent and hopelessly PC. But its mail is terrible. Jim Bell
Once Upon A Time, I got so damned tired of Yahoo! "mail" that I registered a domain name and got a web hosting account /just/ for real e-mail service. It was WAY worth it. Shameless plug: For hosting I like Pair Networks a lot. More fun: Thunderbird speaks POP, IMAP and lately, even integrates with GMail and Yahoo! if so required. The Enigmail plugin makes crypto functions e-z, even has a wizard for making brand new keys, as a mail-oriented front end for GPG. Reasonable security and reliability != difficulty and complexity for the end user; as far as I can tell the belief that things are the opposite of that is a product of 30 years of snake oil vendors disparaging simple, effective professional tools. :o)
