-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

  Below is a log of my trying to use GnuPG to talk to a friend, and
failing to even add her to my GPG key ring.  You can see that GPG gets
confused about the key in the first command (--import) while in my
second command PGP6 is quite happy with the exact same key.
  Some details are then elaborated on so that you folks might be able
to debug GPG and make it work.  That would be really great...
