-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 the question to be settled is "do I trust the key?" completely? possibly? or I have no resason to trust it at all. This is related to the trust level and you derive that from the previous signatures attached to the key -- or from your own knowlege.
I would sign the key if I meant to help the other party to build trust in their key. but I don't see that I would then upload their public key,-- I don't see how that would work unless the key-server combines my update with whatever she already has up there.... I don't think that happens -- anymore than uploading a revoke key will automatically invalid the key that I have on the server. I have to depend on the other party checking for a revoke signature -- "AFIK" the one thing that we should not do is dilute the mechanism I'm on Enigmain 1.8.2 using LMDE/2 MINT right now -- I can't sign a key using ENIGMAIL; I have to use command line. I don't mind doing that by the dialog should get fixed sometime .
