Is it disallowed? Someone explained to me that he needs it because he has an older key which he personally verified but is from an older mail-address. > The easiest and most consistent way for you to achieve this would be, I > think, to duplicate [email protected]'s entry in your GPG keychain by assigning to a > new ID [email protected] the same public key as [email protected]. Why would I need to do this? After all I encrypt with the public from the counterparty and the counterparty only can decrypt it with her fitting private key. >> 11.1 Transferable Public Keys >> [....] >> Each of the following User ID >> packets provides the identity of the owner of this public key.

But since I know that the key from [email protected] belongs to the same person that has [email protected] I do not see, why I shouldn't be allowed to encrypt with the key from [email protected] Niels > On 17 Jun 2014, at 14:43, Niels Kobschätzki wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I want to send a mail to someone who has two addresses: [email protected] and >> [email protected] (just examples).
