Re: Question on GPG

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I just started playing with GPG today.  Can't you tell? :-)

Anyhow.  I generated bunches of keys trying to get Enigmail to play nice
with Thunderbird and also with gpg on the command line.

When I finally got around to the part of the HowTo on searching for keys
(of course I did not read through all the way before starting), I
searched for my key.  It turns out that at some point all my keys (3 in
all) were exported.  The problem is that I had already deleted the
key-pairs from my machine, since they were just test runs.

Is there a way to get rid of them from the keyservers?

I don't believe so. If you had a revocation cert or if they have expiration dates then they could become 'invalid/untrustworthy', but I believe they always stay on the server.

I was going to try enigma. Do you remember clicking on something to send the key to the server, or did it do that on it's own to be 'helpful'? Playing with Kgpg it didn't show me the first test key I made until I made a second one when I didn't have any in my account. I hope they haven't been uploaded to a keyserver.
