I was happily using the key long after the expiry date of 2003-01-18; it
has only been in the last month that I get the message (immediately

echo 'Blah' | /usr/bin/gpg --armor --clearsign -
gpg: no secret subkey for public subkey 3D0FDD17 - ignoring

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
