[imp] gpg/ pgp seems a bit buggy

[Chris H.]

Hello, and thank you very much for your reply.
In all cases it recognizes it as a pgp/gpg signed message; as indicated
by the lock in the upper left hand corner of the message after I open it.
Here is an example: I have imported both my private & public keys into
IMP. I have Sign Messages as the default option for sending email. I
send a message to this group for example. I am prompted for the password
after I hit send. When the message I sent arrives, sometimes it has a
locked envelope icon, sometimes it has the paperclip next to the envelope
icon. In all cases, I am using my same keys. When I open the message,
sometimes I see the lock and the text indicating this is a pgp/gpg signed
message and the confirmation that it is valid. But sometimes I see the lock
and the text indicating that it is a pgp/gpg signed message and the
confirmation text indicating that it is valid *and* my name and email
address. *However*, the difference is not consistent, nor does it
corospond in any way with the differences in the locked envelope, or
paperclip envelope. There is no distinct pattern that I can find. So I
was hoping that those who know, could shed some light on these anomolies.

Thank you again for your reply. I hope you (or someone else) have/ has
the answer.
