GnuPG implements the OpenPGP standard. What hoops the users need to jump through to get a certain behaviour with GnuPG might not be there in other OpenPGP compliant programs. The OpenPGP standard merely says: > By convention, it includes an RFC 2822 [RFC2822] mail name-addr, but > there are no restrictions on its content. That said, I understand your position. However, the patch to match on bare e-mail addresses as UID even when searching with the angle brackets already went in GnuPG 2.1 [1]. HTH, Peter.
