Sounds like you ended up with binary output on a terminal.
To un-fsck the terminal emulator, issue the command:
reset
(One nice thing about that is you can easily type it blind.)
I suspect what you need to do for the export key part is ASCII
armoring. Otherwise, you get a binary file. Aside from being less
portable than ASCII, it messes up the terminal. I believe you want to
use the "--ascii" switch.
What I don't know is how to strip user IDs from exported keys. The
caff man page advertises that, when it mails a key to someone, it
strips off all user IDs except for the one being mailed to.
For example, suppose I have a key with two user IDs attached to it:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] As I understand it,
the best practice is to strip the [EMAIL PROTECTED] user ID when
mailing to [EMAIL PROTECTED], so that [EMAIL PROTECTED] only gets
the [EMAIL PROTECTED] user ID. But I don't know how that works. Or
even if I understand it correctly.
