Actually, interestingly, you can. There is no timestamp or anything in a UID; two UIDs with identical text are completely identical[1]. That means that old certifications in this case do carry over (if they're not expired). HTH, Peter. [1] Well; except for the fact that it is the UTF-8 encoded text that is signed, and it is possible for two different UTF-8 texts to come out exactly the same. In that case two UIDs look the same but are different. -- I use the GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) in combination with Enigmail. You can send me encrypted mail if you want some privacy.
