- Quoting from pgpdoc1.txt, Extracting a Key fro your Key Ring:
-
- "If the key has any certifying signatures attached to it on your key
- ring, they are copied off along with the key."
-
- Suppose A has certified B's public key and passed it on to C.
- C wants to give that key to D without revealing any association
- with A.

- Hmmm... I think the (RI)PEM people have some thoughts and/or an actual
- Internet draft someplace, -- whatever they can do, PGP can do also ;-) --
- but I have been unable to locate the thing yet.
-
- Most of the necessary code should already exist in the metamail distribution.
- Time to reread those MIME RFCs I suppose. ;-)
