If I do just: gpg --edit-key porridge It displays nice: pub 1024D/60F41216 created: 2000-09-04 expires: 2002-09-04 trust: -/u sub 1024g/2ADE518F created: 2000-09-04 expires: 2002-09-04 (1) Marcin Owsiany <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (2) Marcin Owsiany <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (3) Marcin Owsiany <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (4) Marcin Owsiany <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (5).
