It looks fine to me, I think you're getting confused by it referring to the key in several ways. Here's part of the output for "gpg2 -v -d" for me: > gpg: public key is 73A33BEE > gpg: using subkey 73A33BEE instead of primary key DE500B3E > gpg: using subkey 73A33BEE instead of primary key DE500B3E > gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit RSA key, ID 73A33BEE, created 2009-11-12 > "Peter Lebbing <pe...@digitalbrains.com>" It first notices the key it is encrypted to is 73A33BEE, which is a subkey. Then it really wants me to know that it is using this subkey of the primary DE500B3E :-). Finally it shows the actual subkey it was encrypted to along with the primary User ID of the key as a whole. HTH, Peter. -- I use the GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) in combination with Enigmail. You can send me encrypted mail if you want some privacy.
