It violates a de-facto standard. That hurts.

The standard allows for terabit RS

Yes. No. Maybe.
HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) is an infamously black art. What one
person thinks is the most obvious set of options for them is a Byzantine
kludge to another.
It might make sens

Hi Peter.
Trust and signatures are different things (of course they are
connected).
You can change the trust on the key with the "trust" command when
editing his key.

Hi there,
Firstly, apolgies if this is a simple query. I didn't get the answer though
from reading the manual.
My friend and I signed each others' keys last week. However, since then he has

It's not a bug. It's a deliberate design decision on the part of the
GnuPG authors.

Hi list.
I've got some questions...
1) When creating a new UID, why does gpg have a minimum size of 5
characters? This is not imposed by RFC4880? Where can I report this bug.
2) I have a key that is already published to keyservers. Unfortunately it
uses old SHA1 as hasing algorithm.
Now I want
