Hi Barry,

1. Your signature does not verify:
-----BEGIN GPG OUTPUT-----
gpg: Signature made Thu Jun 26 06:43:53 2008 EDT using DSA key ID 0E49BB57
gpg: BAD signature from "Barry H <darkrenegade80 at hotmail.com>"
-----END GPG OUTPUT-----


I believe the reason is that you are composing your messages in HTML
format. Better, much better use plain text.

2. Re your key 41E98DC4, from the server:

Going strong, but you have surely been careful to generate and file a
revocation certificate.

I believe it is not possible to encrypt to a revoked key (revoked
encryption subkey).

Baz, take care,
