I bet not right away from the start; control messages were likely introduced somewaht later. We would need to ask a graybeard to be sure or look at the B-news sources. For the average user keyservers are pretty young if at all existent. Thus we are in the same state as the old Usenet. > NNTP would be ideal for it. Use the key fingerprint as the NNTP > message-id field for IHAVE, and NNTP takes care of the distribution. Which would also help to distribute revocations. A client running on a server (e.g. your mail smarthost) could filter out revocation messages for your keyring from a Usenet group and forward them to you. In fact the client could do that automagically by looking on your mail traffic to collect keyids. Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
