Mailing List Archive

I am tired of receiving dozens of messages of this list.

I tried many times to unsubscribe. The mailing system does not work
properly
and the owner of the list (Lord of the Lists <listmaster@gnupg.org>)
explains
me that I am not subscribed. It appears now to me as harassment.

If everybody from the list reads this message he will probably
understand his
mistake and maybe do his duty.

wrong, the newest one is used not the first (i tested it with PGP 6.5.3)
and no way to specify which subkey to use

I generated new sub keys using PGP I am afraid.

I first changed te expiration date of the permanent subkey using GnuPG. I
then imported this key into PGP and then generated new subkeys with no time
overlap. That way each key is used in order.

Probably goes against a standard somewhere ;-) , but it would be nice if
that flexibility could be introduced into GnuPG.
