hmm, It only shows up under 'gpg -v' but maybe it shouldn't complain about
not having an algorithm it doesn't come with. Or at least let people know
its talking about rsa

Ascii armored and non - asciiarmored.  I had an old key that I believe was
made using 0.3.4 and I didn't have trouble getting it to import.  I
revoked it and when I revoked it the key got corrupted.  It still imports,
but everyone says its messed up.  Sorta funny to me how a corrupted key
imports under pgp but a new key doesn't.

Attached is a public key which cannot import into pgp 6.0 . Both an ascii
and non-ascii version.  Pgp gives pretty much the same warning for both.
"The selected file does not contain any valid PGP keys"  Thanks
