Yep. |

Hm, possible as well, yes. |

That's what I assumed. |

Yep. As I said - see the last line of my mail before the |
| 55 |
mailinglist signature :) I don't think that it is helpful to |
| 56 |
read man pages or help output to people. |

Yes. |

Uhm. Yes, I did not point that out. Why and how should I? OP |
| 70 |
asked, how a signature can be created. That's a clear question. |
| 71 |
I don't know how to explain, why --gen-key is the wrong answer. |
| 72 |
It's just so plain totally wrong, that I just don't know how |
| 73 |
to explain it. |

Oh, I did not? What about the "-s"? How's that not the "sign command"? |

Or the help output. I wrote "gpg --help | grep 'make a'" which will, |
| 84 |
among other things, return "-s". But that's not correct? |
