When I tested this in an earlier version, I was unable to proceed without entering an email address. Having gone back and re-tested, I am only able to replicate the behaviour if the string I enter for "Real name" contains the "@" character. This also holds true for 1.4.10. The --expert flag was/is not the difference, it's the presence of "@" in the "Real name" field. - -- Best regards MFPA mailto:expires2...@ymail.com Raining cats and dogs is better than hailing taxis. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQCVAwUBS5RUBKipC46tDG5pAQoU1QP/ZLjFmEuJDekgAMUakhZdYPOvVEc/fOml JSJT/ABumMQnnrwMA8JM/r3uoqguXP2HNC4fx2cL5OwcPGbb1kC5JPXwFG79JHKC CTPM7aXVzOgavQ8L3fj1FKwM/6fOKXTFT/PLePYHIzbt4+HjxZk854bvTyhv3MY0 0qhoUy5yAaU= =ypXx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
