Hi August,

On 2020-01-03 16:07:45, you wrote to me:

I can now verify your message had a correct signature made with this key:

wilfred@wilnux5:~/tmp> gpg --import aug.key
gpg: key 5789589B: public key "August Abolins "
imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)
wilfred@wilnux5:~/tmp> gpg --verify aug.msg
gpg: Signature made vr 03 jan 2020 15:07:38 CET using RSA key ID 5789589B
gpg: Good signature from "August Abolins "
[unknown]
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: D0EB 2A29 5204 F316 7EB2  503C EF0E 8965 5789 589B

The trust thing is sort of an issue. I can't just sign your key (technically I
could of course), because I can't verify it's really you. Anyone could login
to Tommy's nntp server as 'August Abolins'. and "fake" email addresses are
also easy to create/get. And since you are not a node we can't even exchange
some crash netmails...


Bye, Wilfred.
