In my tests, the key specified in R1 must exactly match. Placing 0 in R1 only
helps for key0 storage.

There is no way to use MVCDK without knowing the exact key of the target.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.
