If you're interested in making those unintelligible lines more intelligible, you could also try running the key through gpg --list-packets. if you've saved the file as example.cert, you'd do that like this: gpg --list-packets < example.cert (this assumes a regular shell on a modern operating system. i don't know if the windows shell supports this kind of redirection). This will print out details of what exactly is in the certificate. hth, --dkg
