Indeed, the web page was missing a 'id='. Earlier versions of the idea allowed the 'id=' string to be optional, but that is no longer the case. I have changed the key id field to be at least 8 hex characters long. The reason it isn't hard coded to a particular length is that openpgp fingerprints may be of different lengths. Still, 8 hex characters appear to be the minimum length in use today. I'm going to submit an updated -03 version of the document soon, so if any of you have any comments on the latest protocol, now would be a perfect time to send them. The latest document is available from: http://josefsson.org/openpgp-header/draft-josefsson-openpgp-mailnews-header.txt Thanks, /Simon
