Hi August,

On 2020-01-10 05:55:01, you wrote to me:

 AA>>> Further to your preceding message, you sent it signed with
 AA>>> SHA1.

 WvV>> Yeah, I already thought so. It's the default in my older

 AA> TB 2.0.0.24 warned me with this:

[unknown]

 AA> It is warning me that you are not the person who claims to have written
 AA> that?

No, than it would say something different. This just means the cleartext, has
been changed from it's original when you verify it.

 AA> Maybe the new and old gpg programs are using different local key files

Nope.

I just tested the original text on my windows pc at work, and I get:

gpg: WARNING: no command supplied.  Trying to guess what you mean ...
gpg: Signature made 01/09/20 23:20:12 W. Europe Standard Time
gpg:                using RSA key 3BB37DA84A97932B
gpg: Good signature from "Wilfred van Velzen " [full]
gpg:                 aka "Wilfred van Velzen " [unknown]
gpg:                 aka "[jpeg image of size 5943]" [unknown]

So...?

Maybe Tommi and/or Mark can try to verify it.

Bye, Wilfred.
