Actually, I am using 6.5.8, the very latest free PGP version available,
so my PGP version is not a problem, I don't think. Also, when I check an
email on the command line with PGP it gives me the "public key not
found" error message. I switched it to use GPG, and I get the correct
error message "public key not found" (since I don't have any of your
public keys on my keyring). So I think that Evolution is incorrectly
interpreting the error message from the PGP verification routine. Must
be a bug in Evolution... I will submit it and see what Ximian says.
