Subject: Change default keyserver to subkeys.pgp.net
Date: Wed, 01 Oct 2003 16:38:05 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ad8krk0i.fsf@mulligatwani.msrl.com> (raw)

Many of the keyservers found at wwwkeys.pgp.net have bugs with subkey
handling and will mangle them in some way.  The alias subkeys.pgp.net
is available as a set of keyservers that are running corrected
software, and it is widely recommended by keyserver operators that
default server settings be changed to subkeys.pgp.net.
