I am curious how to verify your pgp signature with your public key? I have a mac and am running GPG keychain access. I did get your public key from the link in your email, but how do I go about verifying the signature?
I'm not questioning whether the message is from you, I am just curious going forward here.

As a fellow Mac guy, I can drop in a quick note here.

For validating files in general, you can just right click on the file in question and choose "OpenPGP: Validate" from the "Services" menu. That's it, with no need to launch GPG Keychain Access, except to grab the key in the first place. So, in this particular case, you can select the body of the post in your web browser -- everything from "-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----" to "-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----" and drag that to the desktop, which will create a text clipping document. Right click on that newly created document, select validate, and you're good to go.

(Of course, the "Services" menu is available globally and so will provide encryption-related services wherever they're relevant and supported by GPG; I just mention file-specific validation because it's quick and handy and avoids potential flakiness when using it within some apps.)

Thanks for this quick description. I did try this will both the email and the message posted by dexX7 above (twice each) and I get a message "verification failed: no signature found." That seems strange to me because I can see the signature clearly at the end of the message.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong?
