Good idea. I've added it to v3 of the patch. The command is --default-sig-class, and it takes a number from 0-3. If you set a default sig class in your options file, you can use --no-default-sig-class to override it back to 0. The menu that pops up when key signing will reflect the new default. Also added: * 'If you don't know what the right answer is, answer "0"' message * minor fix to notations - they should be printed as UTF8. http://www.jabberwocky.com/crypto/gnupg/patch.gnupg-1.0.6.dms.sigclass.3 David --=20 David Shaw | dshaw@jabberwocky.com | WWW http://www.jabberwocky.com/ +--------------------------------------------------------------------------= -+ "There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX.
