hey i have a question, how can i send you an email with only a public pgp key? i import keys into GPA but i see the metadata shows emails like "none@all.com"
i use thunderbird with enigmail to send encrypted emails but i'm confused on how to send emails to people without their email but only their pgp key. any hints?
kind regards

I don't know why we're required to add in an email address when creating a PGP key. I guess the assumption was that users will only have one email address, which is certainly not the case for most of us. :P

I have a some questions about PGP as well.. I hope I am allowed to post this here? I know people might not see it, but I feel like a noob if I start a new thread on something that has a million threads already, I'm sure. :(
1.) Are buyers or sellers more responsible for having PGP keys? Alot of sellers have PGP keys on their pages, but some do not. Is it MY responsibility to get my own PGP key to protect my identity when I send my address, or are all sellers supposed to have them?
2.) I have downloaded GPG4win, and it put a program on my start menu called Kleopatra. BUT, every time I try to open it, it says "The procedure entry point libiconv_set_relocation_prefix could not be located in the dynamic link library iconv.dll". I have NO IDEA what that means, and I have have no idea what I'm supposed to do about it!
I sincerely apologize for being so dumb. :( I'm sure I will need to use PGP, and once I get it actually working, I'm pretty sure I can take it from there.
Thanks for any help!
