Well, the short answer to this question is that no, it's not possible: like any good distributed database, GPG keys work in append-only mode. You can revoke an email by appending a revocation packet, but you cannot remove the address once it's published. Maybe that explains enough about the structure of GPG that a session isn't needed? :) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
