% I'm just curious...what advantage is there to splitting up your keyring?
It makes things more manageable for me, and reminds me of how I know this
person. All of my mutt-user friends' keys are in pubring.mutt.gpg, and
so on. If I ever unhook from a list, I can pretty quickly purge my
key collection of keys relating to that list rather than carrying around
the baggage forever.
Similarly, I have all of my old keys in a ring by themselves; they're
available in case I want to read my old encrypted messages or if someone
encrypts to me with an old key, but I don't see them on a regular basis.
It also shortens my listings if I'm looking for something in particular;
I have a $GNOPG alias defined which points to /dev/null instead of the
options file and then I feed in the keyring I wish to use for the lookup.
