Help: Encrypting messages to a Public Key with a revoked UID.

[simon wood]

Hi all,
A while ago I switched ISP and therefore needed to sort out my private key. I've
generated a new UID on my GnuPG key and revoked the original UID.

However a quick test show that I can still encrypt to the old UID.

The handbook states that you can't encrypt to a revoked key, shouldn't the same
apply for a revoked UID??

I'm GnuPG 1.0.4 on SuSE 6.2,
thanks in advance,
Simon Wood.
