But this is precisely what happens: They are shown (as usable) when gnupg
parses the key (without importing it).

Example: (Gnupg 1.0.6)=20

But, if you look in my previous message, you will see that the fourth and
fifth userids are revoked.=20


--=20
=C5smund Skj=E6veland (aasmunds@student.matnat.uio.no) (OpenPGP keyid 54B97=
