Subject: importing PGP keys
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2015 18:45:57 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87d269ohlm.fsf@ericabrahamsen.net> (raw)
So someone just emailed me their public PGP key. I can save the MIME
attachment to a file, then call "gpg --import thekey.key", but the
resulting key isn't associated with their email address, and therefore
I'm not able to send them encrypted emails, at least not by default.
Does anyone have a clever function for importing an attached key and
automatically associating it with the email address which sent it? Or
somehow doing it after the fact? I've been googling for a while now, and
haven't found the answer...
Thanks,
Eric
