2 possible solutions: 1.) Install the IDEA plugin which is available for GnuPG. Unfortunately I don't know if it's available at gnupg.org. I installed the GnuPG addon rpm which came with my SuSE distribution. According to the specs it's available at gnupg.de. 2.) If you intend to attend at the Cebit this year you could create a new key pair with GnuPG on your own computer and let the Heise people sign this new key pair.
