how? doesnt the correctness of an answer depend on the question. it seems to to
me that this person wants to find out how to make gpg work. so do i - and i have
the same problem. im not that stupid and ive spent an hour googling to find only
this uninformative and unhelpful reply.

perhaps not but you could have included a hint anyway...i still have not found
what you are referring to and i would like to have gpg working. 

i looked in mail/options/addressbooks but found no sources. only where to store
saved addresses and this correctly refers to "my addressbooks".

perhaps i am just a stupid user. but i thought that software was ultimately
aimed at users - stupid as they may be...

i dont want to start an argument but i dont really understand where your
irritation comes from. the error message:

"PGP Error. Could not determine the recipient's e-mail address."

is really not very helpful when ive successfully imported the keys and can see
and search for this contact in every way (through both the composition window
and turba)...

i would be VERY grateful for some more verbose answer than RTFM...

finally - i am also very grateful for the work you are doing on horde...i think
it is a fantastic piece of software...

BEST regards, jens
