Try to do it soon 8-)
Also, your email client is adding MIME goop to the emails which mine (sylpheed) is unable to decrypt. It turns "=" into "=3D" everywhere. This: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I blame sylpheed for this, but if you can make it stop, that would make my life easier, and perhaps others.
