DCDFDFA4 2012-03-17 Test Teststra (Koning van Wezel) > <test@example.invalid> I have just now issued a signature on 0xDCDFDFA4 with 0x2C53B2ED. To do that, I had to unexpire the latter, but I first made a backup of the expired key. After putting the expired key back, the signature is still shown as succesfully verified, not as bad. So a signature by an expired key is not necessarily seen as a bad signature. Either your explanation is incomplete or it is incorrect... But thanks for looking into it! I never thought anything of the fact it was expired; I probably never noticed? HTH, Peter. -- I use the GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) in combination with Enigmail.
