[gentoo-user] Open PGP signatures on Thunderbird

[Julien Roy]

Hello list,

I recently configured Thunderbird to digitally sign my emails using my 
GnuPG key. It seemed to be working fine with the tests I made to my 
other email address, however, I noticed an email I sent to this list was 
unreadable from the archive [0]. Therefore, I assume something is wrong 
with my setup since, from my understanding, nothing special is required 
from the receiver's side to read signed (and not encrypted) messages.

Does anyone else on this list use Thunderbird with OpenPGP signatures 
that could help me figure out why this is happening? The configuration 
on Thunderbird is rather straight forward some I'm not sure what I 
could've done wrong.

Do receivers have to accept/add my signature (which attaches itself to 
my emails by default) before they can view my messages?

Strangely, the Gentoo User list archive has a small button at the button 
"Find on MARC"; when I click this, my email is readable just fine [1]. 
This would indicate that perhaps the Gentoo archive isn't configured to 
handle signatures, however I am not the only one on this list who signs 
their emails, and other signed emails are readable just find on the 
Gentoo archive.

Thanks,
Julien
