How, actually? You might want to warn him/her not to do this. Without uid, you must remember the key fingerprint if you want to use the key. This does not appear to be human friendly. Moreover, as any link between key and e-mail address is missing, e-mail software cannot offer automatic encryption. > I was sure that the gpg key management interface would provide some way > of manually adding an email address to someone else's public key, but > I'm not finding it... An owner of the secret key can use the gpg command adduid. You must not be able to add uids to other people=E2=80=99s keys. Otherwise, you could redirect e-mails encrypted to them. Best wishes Jens
