I used to have to do this by hand
(http://webber.dewinter.com/gnupg_howto/english/GPGMiniHowto-3.html#ss3.3).
(yuck) However, one thing enigmail for Thunderbird does is allow me to
click on a key and it will go look at the public server and import the key
for me. Then everytime I get mail it checks my keyring to see if it mail
is from valid source. I just would now like to get some of them "signed"
so that I can actually "trust" PLUG accounts and then be in position to
send encrypted mail to people if need be. :)

This is what I want to do...

It will answer a lot of questions. :)

Also if you are running Debian try apt-get isntall seahorse.
