I thought I'd post this for the bash users who might benefit from it:

alias gpg-update-all='gpg --with-colons --fast-list-mode --list-keys | '\
'awk -F: '\''$1=="pub" {print $5}'\'' | sort -u | '\
'xargs -n 20 gpg --recv-keys'

The above three lines should go in your ~/.bash_profile.

Very neat solution, Dave. I think, though, that this functionality would
be best implemented in gpg itself. Even if it isn't, thanks for a great
program, Werner.

Should the phrase "anal retentive" be hyphenated, or not?
