Title: Help! Public key doubles when i insert?!?! WTF?!
Post by: starfishtunacats on April 15, 2012, 10:45 pm
So does anyone else have this issue with their public key? I end up opening textedit and when i just right click and choose "OpenPGP: Insert Key" and so it inserts my Public Key, long string of jibberish after "---begin public key---" thing. So it shows up but then after the sequence in smaller font size is a duplicate copy of my public key?!? WTF? is that normal?

Thanks Forum Peeps, any and all help is great, with the wealth of info here i'm starting to get the hang of encryption and feeling ready to make a 1st purchase soon.

So no one has had this problem yet? When simply importing your public key into textedit with "openPGP insert my key" and it inserts it TWICE one after the other but the second one is in smaller font?! HEEEEEELPS PLEEEEEASE!? :(

You have got to be a bit patient when posting on this forum. There is no need to re-post within three hours just because no one has replied. Does this problem occur in other editors, or just in textedit? Can you try to export your key another way?

It inserts my key double in textedit, stickies, but in Word it comes up normal, no double or anything. hmm is that it? problem solved? *crosses fingers* Thanks for the point in some direction. :)
