Well, I created a key pair with "gpg --gen-key" and it does the same thing. Why is emacs asking for the "Encryption key" instead of the passphrase? I have to be doing something wrong? I can decrypt the .gpg file fine with "gpg -d file.gpg" and it goes to stdout, like cat. How could I pipe the output to less? jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
