   Hi August,   
      
   On 2020-01-04 19:37:35, you wrote to me:

   What program are you using?   
      
   And you should be able to! ;)

   I have no clue, I have never tried sending an encrypted email. ;)   
      
    WvV>> For instance my 9611AC4F key (which is on the keyservers), has   
    WvV>> 3 active uid's (with current email addresses), and 3 revoked   
    WvV>> uid's (with email address I no longer use)...   
      
    AA> Yes, I pulled that one down.  It has 5 "Also known as" email addresses.   
      
    AA> Key management could be a nightmare across multiple devices.   
      
   It shouldn't. Just publish your keys to a key-server, and pull in what you   
   need on other devices... Although private keys of course can't be pushed to a   
   key-server and will have to be exchanged using whatever suites you...   
      
    AA> It's pretty neat that I can look up old friends and check the   
    AA> properties of the keys.   
      
   Indeed. ;)   
      
   But are those older keys still usable? I have two keys from 1993, I no longer   
   remember the passwords for. :-(   
   But they aren't on the keyservers afaik, so nobody will be tempted to use   
   them. ;)   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
