12 Ah, that explains it. I sign my email with a specific subkey. I use
13 another subkey for Gentoo ebuild signing. I have a few other subkeys for
14 other purposes, and using subkeys you can still preserve your identity,
15 while being able to change the actual key hash you use for doing things.
16
17 pgp.mit.edu doesn't supported subkeys. Only four servers in
18 wwwkeys.pgp.net rotation are sub-key capable.
19
20 All of subkeys.pgp.net, keyserver.kjsl.com, the.earth.li are sub-key
21 capable, and behave correctly.
22
23 keyserver.net used to be decent and support subkeys, but they were
24 bought out by veredis and the service has gone badly downhill.

26 I've posted my latest key up here:

29 Import it, and see if your mail clients still complain.
