Does Wietse still work at the Eindhoven University? I thought he has moved.
Anyway, check his email address. As far as I know the TUE has changed its
email address structure. Check their website (www.tue.nl) for that.

That is, if you load the IDEA plugin. That key is from 1992, so it is almost
centainly created with pgp 2.x, which only uses IDEA as its public key
algorithm. It is even only 1022 bits - does anyone know if there were there
some bugs in pgp 2.0 - 2.3 that prevented 1024 bits keys to be generated?
