Thanks :) By the way, you can read about it on planetKDE, since I blog
almost weekly on my progress; however, you can find in [0] a link to my post
with screencast too, so you can have a better idea on what I'm doing.

That's a great notice :)

&quot;signature&quot; field for<br> &gt; uploading, nor its retrieval, since the \
functions signature/setSignature<br> &gt; in EntryInternal are commented so I cant \
access them. I am missing<br> &gt; something? was the GPG signature option already \
