Okay, was the format for this changed? I used to use what is "0123456789A=
BCDEF"
for the keyID, however, has that changed, or did this user be the lucky
recipient of a valid keyID that looks like that? Also, can anyone tell me=
 what
each of those fields mean? I know some of them, but what's ssb? or the 17=
 at
the beginning? Or the blank fields? Thanks.

4.1 (which I personally have had no problems with) soon.
