It would appear gpg4win does not allow this and in a way I can       understand why as it flys in the face of what I think the PUBLIC vs PRIVATE       keys are to be used for (I think)              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A5 (Windows)        * Origin: Agency BBS | telnet://agency.bbs.geek.nz (3:770/100)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 57/0 90/1 120/340 601 123/131 153/250 757 220/70 226/17       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 664 1014 240/5832 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 267/800 280/464 292/854 310/31 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 340/1000 342/200 712/848 770/0 1 100 340 772/0 1 220 230       SEEN-BY: 772/500       PATH: 770/100 1 229/664 426           |
