Re: [mv] PGP key trouble

Here is what I do. On the client machine create a public key. Then export 
that key. Take that key and import it to your miniviend key ring. Then have 
MV use that key to encrypt. This way the encrypted orders are mailed 
directly to the client with MV having used their public key and theyn onky 
they can de-crypt. 

You can test all this on the command line of the MV server.
