The paragraph reads: "If you've lost your public key and need to recreate it instead for continued use with your secret key, you may be able to use gpgsplit as detailed in question <Rgpgsplit>." * Edited section 4.15 - Added paragraph below table on GPGrelay, an application for MUAs that lack OpenPGP (rfc2015) support to. "Users of Win32 MUAs that lack OpenPGP support may look into using GPGrelay <http://http://gpgrelay.sourceforge.net>, a small email-relaying server that uses GnuPG to enable many email clients to send and receive emails that conform to PGP-MIME (RFC 2015)." suggested by: Andreas John <[email protected]> * Corrected section 4.16 - Incorportated Werner's URL fix for gpgme FTP location to synchronize local CVS with released FAQ version 1.5.8. * Added section 4.19 - "How do I verify signed packages?" suggested by: Christian Reis <[email protected]> * Added section 4.20 - "How do I export a keyring with only selected signatures?" by: David Shaw <[email protected]> * Added section 4.21 - "I still have my secret key, but lost my public key.

Is this missing from the installation?" to "GnuPG no longer installs a ~/.gnupg/options file. Is it missing?" + Added "An existing options file can be renamed to gpg.conf for users upgrading, or receiving the message that the "old default options file" is ignored (occurs if both a gpg.conf and an options file are found)." to the end of the paragraph. + Corrected ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf (was ~/.gnupg/conf) * Added section 5.9 - "How to you export GnuPG keys for use with PGP?" by: David Shaw <[email protected]>
