Some more details might be useful here. What type of key pair did you
generate, RSA or DSA? What are you looking at exactly when you refer to
the length of your key, your public key converted to ASCII plain text?
The length depends on how many people have signed your key. Hav you
tried using the gpg line mode command to list the keys in your key-ring
etc? gpg --list-keys would be a good start. What happens in Evolution
when you try and sign or encrypt a message?

I've signed this message with my key and I'm using Evolution on Warty.

Regards,
Tony.
