I don't think this was discussed properly. The question for me= is, what should be the default: fail if there is no matching key which = also matches the comment field, or choose the default (sub)key even when = a different subkey matches (based on the comment field). First of all, I= think the default should be "try not to fail", so that is the second way= =2E Additionally, people can specify a different keyid if they want to s= ign with a different key. Oh well, I don't really care about this. I just say that I'd expect it n= ot to fail... cheers simon --=20 Serve - BSD +++ RENT this banner advert +++ ASCII Ribbon /"\ Work - Mac +++ space for low =E2=82=AC=E2=82=AC=E2=82=AC NOW!1 +++= Campaign \ / Party Enjoy Relax | http://dragonflybsd.org Against HTML \ Dude 2c 2 the max ! http://golden-apple.biz Mail + News / \ --------------enigCEBE7EB3A4B8BD4E7E5249DF Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (DragonFly) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFu4F5r5S+dk6z85oRApHwAKC5uVop8p6QLc8D+dV1wbMcm8XBPwCgxlh/ ew7uM9u8zjGy1QobJGjotyU= =SBAr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigCEBE7EB3A4B8BD4E7E5249DF--
