We have not try on other key generating software yet, but as you have =
tested, I guess the key generated by PGP freeware will not work. By the =
way, we are continuing to enhance ebMail. In the future release we are =
going to support keys generated in the pkcs12 format. There is a more =
"updated" version of ebMail in our cvs development reposiotry, which =
should work with pkcs12. Maybe you could check it out and have a trial.

In current implementation, the public key of sender will also be sent to =
the recipient side, so there is no "key-exchange" before using digital =
signature. In the future release, we will change this mechanism (which =
sender and receiver must exchange public key first)  so that the =
signature verification will be more reliable.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------=

As we are having ongoing development, we don't have a stable "ebMail =
internal" documentation yet. If you really want to change the size of =
window of compose message, I think you have to dig into the source code =
of ButtonListener.java and modify the variable values.
