I am very new here, so would anybody kindly give me a reference where this previous discussions happened?

BTW it seems the file format doesn't really stop us from putting invalid email address in the UID, so is there a switch in gpg/gpg2 command line that skips email address format checking altogether? My intension is to put obscured email addresses, like rot13(xxx) or reversed(at-dot(email)) kind of stuff in that field. Seahorse can do that, but only when generating keys, not adding new UIDs Cheers, Jesse _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
