You were expecting the packet header to be written in the "new" format, but it is actually written in the "old" format (indicated by it beginning with "10" vs "11"). See RFC-4880 section 4.2. Public key packets have a Tag ID of 6, and the "new" format isn't required unless the packet has a Tag ID greater than 15. -fuzzy _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
