Hi,

We used to use PGP v8 and Outlook to send signed automated emails to a =
remote service. Outlook is having problems with line wrapping and is =
ballsing up the automated message, so I thought I would try gpg with =
Mozilla Thunderbird.

I have installed the latest version of gpg for windows and Thunderbird =
0.2. Im ready to get sending, but when i sign the message it tells me i =
need to setup some certicates (clearly).

Now, in PGP v8 I have the certs that we use to sign the emails for this =
service. The process of recreating new certs is more painful that pullng =
teeth so I would like to keep the ones that I have in PGP but use them =
in GPG. I have exported from PGP and imported to GPG but that doesnt =
seem to have made any differemce.


Can some possibly tell me how to import the PGP keys into GPG so that I =
can sign this email and get it sent ?

Thanks

Olly
