[sword-devel] virus

[Dan Adams]

Well, I have PGP, not the one from the link below. When I tried clicking on
the thing and telling it to download the person's key from the key server,
it told me what is below. I do agree that the mailing list software seems to
alter the messages in some way. When I test it by signing a message of my
own and sending it to myself, that did seem to work. But only when going
through the list does it have problems.

Interesting.... I went back and checked the signature on the message I 
sent after it had gone through the mailing list, and it failed the 
check for me, too. However, the copy in my out box passed the test. I 
think that something in the mailing list software or mail handling 
somewhere altered the message-- maybe just white space or line breaks, 
because I didn't notice a difference in the words.

Enjoy the pretty buttons. <grin>
