   27 Feb 16 15:26, you wrote to me:   
      
    ml>> ok, got my key updated but it is really weird that pgp shows the new   
    ml>> items at the top of the list and gpg shows them at the bottom where   
    ml>> they're likely to be missed... hummm...

   i did have to use --allow-non-selfsigned-uid when i imported my public keyring   
   but my keys are signed by myself...   
      
    PH> I'll keep trying but for now I seem unable to progress setting up a   
    PH> public certificate entry in my software for you.   
      
   i don't know... i certainly am not going to pay someone to certify that i am   
   who i say i am... in the same way as i won't pay for advertising my   
   products... i prefer word of mouth... it is more trustworthy ;)   
      
    PH> [time passes]   
      
    PH> I found an entry for waldo kitty with a key ID of B60C20C5 but it won't   
    PH> import. There are other entries for Mark Lewis but it's unclear which if   
    PH> any are yours.   
      
   that key id is mine... there are numerous ids associated with it... here's   
   what it looks like from pgp 2.6.2... notice how the wkitty42@gmail.com address   
   is listed first followed by "domain alltel.net is dead" which is then followed   
   by the dead wkitty42@alltel.net address... sure, i could remove those dead ids   
   but then folks who know me by them wouldn't be able to use them to contact   
   me... by doing it this way, we can send a message to use another id and why...   
   possibly later those old ids may be removed but the preference it not to   
   remove them... maybe i need to sign that new gmail.com id? hummm...

   so now look at how gpg lists the ids...   
      
   ===== snip =====   
   $ gpg --list-keys 0xb60c20c5   
   pub   1024R/B60C20C5 1992-11-30   
   uid                  waldo kitty

   uid                  domain *.cssnet.sanford.nc.us is dead.

   uid                  waldo kitty    
   uid                  domain alltel.net is dead   
   ===== snip =====   
      
   i don't know why gpg lists those at the bottom of the stack instead of at the   
   top... i added them with pgp on the pgp system and then exported them again...   
   maybe i need to remove them from my gpg rings, export them from pgp again and   
   import them again?
