(I > hope that this is making sense). Yes, I know what you mean. This behavior depends mostly on the MUA you are using. One UID is marked as primary. Some MUAs only display the primary UID, some display all and some pick the right one from the list. > Is there any way to switch the position of the ids in the key other > than deleting the key and creating a new one?

You can set the other UID as primary. But you would have the same problem, when you send with the other address. You should test it with another MUA, what this displays. In my case (evolution), it checks the UIDs and gives an 'okay' if one of the addresses matches the sender. If I check for the signature key by clicking the symbol for the signature details, I see the output of GPG with the primary UID and the other UIDs as aliases, the same way, as gpg does on the command line.

Changing order of ids in key
Probably a dumb question, but I thought I would ask regardless. I created a key pair using my name and email address. I then added a new id to the key with the same name but a different email address. Now, when I send an email, the second id is the one displayed no matter what email address I was using when I sent the message. (I hope that this is making sense). Is there any way to switch the position of the ids in the key other than deleting the key and creating a new one? Would I be better off creating two separate keys? I would rather keep things simple if possible. Would creating a sub-key be the way to go? I am sort of lost here.
