I'm not sure, but this might be because deleting uid isn't permanent if you sync the key from keyserver. 1. Create UID. 2. Push key to keyserver. 3. Delete UID. 4. Get key from keyserver. 5. The deleted UID appears. You should use command revuid, if you want to revoke UID. - -- Mika Suomalainen NOTICE! I am on mobile broadband with very limited time, so I cannot read emails very much.
