Hi Michel

You are correct in assuming that you first have to use the Visual Interface with new keys before the command line can be used. I have to do that also for when a new user wants to use the command line on my servers. I first have to login as that user and use the Visual Interface before the command line will work.

>After having installed gpg4win-2.1.0.exe, this is a Windows installer which installs everything that seems to be needed for this. The default is to have GnuPG checked. The other tools have been unchecked. When the GPA is checked, this provides an interface to read a key and extract a key ID and some related information in regards to the key.

So, basically, the way I understand it, everytime we will receive a new public key, we would have to go in the GPA interface to get the key ID. Then, we would be bale to use the command line to encrypt our file.
