| Yeah, I *thought* I had. :)

used gpg

| on another machine without the secret key and gpg 1.2.{1,2} and I got no
| warning about the key being expired.
|
| Here's the output of list-sigs (trimmed a bit):
|
| pub  1024D/D654075A 1997-12-07 Todd <Freedom_Lover@pobox.com>
| sig 3       D654075A 2003-01-27   Todd <Freedom_Lover@pobox.com>
| [...]
| uid                            [jpeg image of size 3296]
| sig 3       D654075A 2003-01-27   Todd <Freedom_Lover@pobox.com>
| sig         D654075A 2002-06-05   Todd <Freedom_Lover@pobox.com>
|
| It's that last sig on the photoid packet that's expired.  I can see this
| using list-packets.  BTW, is there a command that will show this without
| having to work on an exported key file?
|

gpg --list-sigs freedom_lover@pobox.com

what does the 3 mean in 'sig 3'?

I just imported yoru key from your asc file and its saying expired...
