A couple weeks back, someone suggested I publish my public key to a server. I just learned that by not publishing it, it is causing people problems when they try to read my email. I can simply attach the key to the same mail that I signed, and the trust thereby established is as good as the trust you have in the authenticity of my membership on this list.
Where can I learn more about this? In a hurry.

In order to publish your key to a public key server, you first have to generate a public key block for your key. This has to include ONLY your key, not others already on your keyring. Proceed as follows.
Thanks! It worked great. As I was looking at the Key Management console for KGpg, I discovered a means to publish from there. I haven't checked to see if it worked. BTW. Will the keys magically propagate around the world, or do I have to point people to the server now? I guess I really need to take a break and read up on this. I've done a lot of work with SSL and X509 PKI, but not with pgp.
