I can confirm this problem. I was one of the people that emailed William.
I tested it with GPG 1.0.1 and PGP Freeware for Windows 6.5.2. Perhaps
there is some kind of option I am missing or something?
I have the following settings in my options file:
no-greeting
force-v3-sigs
escape-from-lines
lock-once
load-extension rsa
load-extension idea
rfc1991
keyserver wwwkeys.us.pgp.net
Any suggestions? Thanks.
