Ok, folks, quick GPG lesson.
$ gpg --edit-key 0x12345678 help
This will bring up GPG a interactive mode, with a full list of
available options. Make sure you're in a terminal window you can
scroll back in.
This is also what you get in KGpg if you "edit key in terminal".
At the top will be the key you have chosen to edit:
- -------------
pub 1024D/12345678 created: 2006-05-31 expires: never usage: SCA
trust: ultimate validity: ultimate
sub 1024g/12345678 created: 2006-05-31 expires: never usage: E
[ultimate] (1). Curt Howland <Howland@Priss.com>
[ultimate] (2) Curt Howland <AddressToDelete@bogus-ISP.com>
Command> _
- -------------
The command list given is long, so I won't reproduce it here.
Command> uid 2
This will make uid 2 the selected ID to edit, an asterisk will appear:
- -------------
[ultimate] (2)* Curt Howland <AddressToDelete@bogus-ISP.com>
- -------------
Then the command to delete that particular User ID...
Command> deluid
...and it's done.
Personally, I'd make sure that there was a second, valid, userID on
the key before editing. :^)
Save and exit, and it's done. I _assume_ that uploading that key will
override the userIDs on the keyserver, but that's left as an exercise
for the student.
Sorry I didn't reply yesterday, but it was just this discussion that
made me want to try it myself.
