Changing the email address on an existing key...how? Should I?

2005-07-25 Thread mweisler
Is it possible (or advisable) to change the email address on an existing pgp key? I'm using GnuPG 1.4.1 on Linux. The man pages do not show how to change or edit the mail address of an existing key. I've had the key(s) a long time and friends use them. I use the same key on several platforms.
