I don't know why this happens as this is the email address I used when creating the keypair and gpg printed that this address was part of my User ID. I tried another command: This happens because your command line indicated as argument your e-mail address, that is your User ID, instead of the key ID, that is composed by the last eight digits of the key's fingerprint. As indicated above, you can use also the whole fingerprint. gpg --output pubkey.myem...@mydomain.com.au.gpg.asc --armor --export myem...@mydomain.com.au this worked and printed my public key to a text file. I have no idea why it is not accepting my email as part of my user id when I try and send keys to the keyserver. As indicated above, because when sending to a keyserver, you have to include the Key(s) ID, not your User ID (UID) Best regards, Charly ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
