-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, thanks to all who replied. Retrieving keys now works like a charm and Chritian Boltz' homepage might be a great help for all who have no permanent internet connection (and understand German).

Hello,

I have set up kmail to use OpenPGP for encripted and signed mails. When I get signed mails this works pretty well as long as the public key of the sender is in my key ring. If it is not I get a warning that the public key is not available. Of course I could now download the public key from a key server (provided that it is available on the server) and import it with kgpg but that's a long way to go. Is there any means to automate this process, eg. to downlad public keys which are not in the key ring when a mail is opened?
GPG can auto-retrieve the keys.
You have a t-o{n,ff}line adress, so I assume you understand German ;-) So have a look at my homepage:http://www.cboltz.de/de/linux/gpgoffle?sec
If you have a flatrate and are always online, adding keyserver-options honor-http-proxy auto-key-retrieve keyserver wwwkeys.de.pgp.net to ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf (perhaps without "honor-http-proxy") should be enough.
