Tom,

First things first: your signature verifies:
OpenPGP Security Info
Good signature from Thomas Wootten <tw296 at cam.ac.uk>
Key ID: 0xD55ADA54 / Signed on: 5/29/08 6:29 PM
Key fingerprint: DDEC 3821 0392 81F0 82BE 1B88 949E 6B05 D55A DA54

This information not only means that your signature verifies, it also
means that your public key 0xD55ADA54 has been downloaded from a key
server, imported into my public keyring, and used to verify your
signature. So that's one way to get other people's keys.

Another way is to use the reverse procedure. I am going to sign this
message, and if your User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 (X11/20080505)
with X-Enigmail-Version: 0.95.0 have been configured to query a key
server, eventually my primary key 0xA57A8EFA will be downloaded from
that key server, imported into your public key ring, and used to verify
my signature. I am actually signing with the signing subkey 0x855B83EF
of my primary key, but don't let this bother you for the moment, it does
not change the result.

If for any reason my key 0xA57A8EFA is not downloaded from a key server,
you might try to search for it directly, meaning not through the
combined mechanism of Enigmail and GnuPG, but using the Terminal. You
are a Linux user, you should have a Terminal, where you could type,
after the prompt:
[your computer's name]$ gpg --recv-key 0xA57A8EFA.
This will function *only* if your configuration file for gnupg, named
gpg.conf, includes an option for the use of a keyserver. If not, the
command line *could* be, at the Terminal prompt:
[computer's]$ gpg --keyserver pgp.uni-mainz.de --recv-key 0xA57A8EFA

This command line instructions to use a keyserver named
pgp-uni-mainz.de. A different keyserver could have been used.

When you get my key 0xA57A8EFA into your public key ring, you should
edit the Per Recipient Rules to use that key when sending an e-mail to
me, *if* you want to encrypt that e-mail.


Please *don't* send encrypted e-mails to the list.
