If my anonymous key was signed, you wouldn't be able to send a signed e-mail claiming it to be from my e-mail address. And since you don't trust my name, checking the signature would reveal a "good signature by [anon] [EMAIL PROTECTED]" when I send signed e-mail. In this case you'd at least know that my e-mail is not spoofed which is still something. > > > Adding another uid to the same > > > key, with or without a name, won't change that.
