Kind of yes -- but for use with KNode.


When I set up my key, I used 'chris@chrishowells.co.uk' as my e-mail 
address.

However, when I post to usenet, I use the address 
'chrish@SPAMLESS.gmx.co.uk'. Since KNode uses the e-mail address to look 
for the uid in gpg, it doesn't find anything for 'chrish@SPAMLESS.gmx.co.uk.

Since it's not yet possible to choose the identity in KNode that you 
want to use for gpg, I though that adding a user id (alias) with the 
address of 'chrish@SPAMLESS.gmx.co.uk' to gpg so that KNode could find 
it would work fine.

However KNode seems to improperly sign messages most of the time when I 
do that -- occassinally it puts a valid signature on, but mostly when I 
read the posted message, it claims that the signing was invalid.

I can't see that I'm doing anything wrong, so I think it might be a bug 
somewhere.
