        Hello Ben Wise,
        
        How did you do that?  I mean, include an image in GnuPG?
        
        I found this a useful feature in PGP 6+, but never found the
        command to make this happen in GnuPG.

| Folks,
|
| I have a public key which includes an image (like the copy of
| Phil Zimmerman's key which is distributed with PGP). The key
| was made with GnuPG 1.0.4. I have no trouble using it under
| PGP 7.0.3 or GnuPG 1.0.4, and if I hand or email the *.asc
| file to someone, they get the picture as well.
|
| The problem is that when I 'send' to a server, or cut and
| paste, the server takes the key without complaint, but then
| when I download the key later, it appears without the image.
| I've tried this from PGP's GUI, GPG's command line, Geheimnis's
| GUI, cut and paste, and to four or five servers.
|
| If you download Zimmerman's key, you get one WITHOUT an image.
| So it is not clear if the OpenPGP protocol supports it.
|
| Is there a way to put keys on a server so that people get them with the
| picture? If the protocol allows it, then what am I doing wrong?
