Thank you, Andrew, for the clarification. I suppose I've never thought of it that way but, as you explained it, it makes sense. So am I correct in this thinking: if I attach a picture to my key and upload it to a keyserver then remove the picture and upload that 'version' of my key to the server, the key on the server STILL HAS my picture and the clients choose to ignore it at that point? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJW4G/BAAoJEAKK33RTsEsVlAIP/3UfE2WiynAb4igUXWdPdGK1 GobpOLlFXVX2P7XhGUioQWKytARAgMZNY+rNaqY/sG0o8Nmc0I0v/Na81mkp2bDV y5ykgsiI3h1MkPbacszQTaB9SJTY36GM8QplUR5HfC70rFFZU64rrc6cYGZpms+c O0oHCiUONKpqu8nPtx2jlBcZVneRj2MCYNr6mLGgGi562Cklws5WHmRckQPYubdI Pk3Qx8hdmVqHtbvNhk8lDifxd7QumHds56JYHwyBGT4TjIj8bkSp+YqyKLjmr10g 1FTZzW3FP7Hyhy7qg/m45PTuOG7jximiGLngV4F/SspzsEzQPzxKQBu2mstku3AA V3Rq7bJgw/JyL72G4T6MBtDuN1y1c1agDO7r1MZM6kQz/ndXXLC/NHSYkiy9trjh NcS/0CKzSq70YgIFe/2AxXGsDYtvCIft5sznSOsreKJh79zdMmF7ILBYlTFTM9jP 26/ipBxEKz1J9e7Tm+ijK+WYA/EKrjhiU3RtWM8sQTlMNZyjwoWTSJiCBz17CwzR fa+pyyvdyYNm6TMfTEBgpa3yQV88RMdRRlqj62+06x+lwCNOB6+iG+M5NQNdOJ4C e2sNzXdgcZIYsc5rBIIrEho+z8KUMVcUKO2xDTiWrsHrzORUspomSxi0XyXN8Oy8 ulV2P9Rz8kpTc9KskI2j =TIee -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
