*sigh*.  Are you trolling?

gpg --armor --output mykey.asc --export "Joe Bloggs"
pgp -fast < mykey.asc > mykey.asc.pgp

Send the resulting mykey.asc.pgp in an email.  This is exactly what
everyone has done so far, even before I asked them to.  Obviously
wasn't that hard for people other than you to figure out.

Again, how the hell is this exploitable?  And do you think I would
seriously accept random GNUPG keys from current maintainers without
them being PGP signed?  That's _very_ insulting.  Maybe you are
trolling.
