I've been using GnuPG all this time, and I had no idea GnuPG itself supported X.509 certs. In retrospect, I guess it makes sense to support X.509 certificates for an OpenPGP application, since some CAs are starting to use OpenPGP for authentication. >=20 > I have GnuPG working with 'claws-mail' now though.

Is it possible you uninstalled GnuPG and GPA while trying to get rid of those certs you saw in GPA, then reinstalled, and didn't realize the plugin for your MUA went away with the uninstall? I'm just guessing. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --St7VIuEGZ6dlpu13 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkteAEsACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKXNrQCfRgTkGRW1n87UsOThDwTTi0JO u4IAoO4XxNsb5MEMjgonQvoZh5m74MVS =ICxF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --St7VIuEGZ6dlpu13--
