When I'm in the key-editor (gpg --edit-key <key ID>) and do a 'list' i
get this:
#######################################################################
pub 1024D/E8BDA4E3 created: 2002-02-22 expires: never trust: f/u

(3). Soren Hansen (Secondary e-mail) <sh@freesite.dk>
#######################################################################
What does the dot after "(3)" mean?
When I run 'gpg --fingerprint' my secondary e-mail shows up first even
though it's the one, that I added lastly:

Does it matter in any way whatsoever? If so, how do I change it back to
sh@warma.dk?
Another thing: I've generated a new key (because I had a ridiculously
low lifespan on the previous key).
Naturally, I'd like to keep the old one to be able to read e-mail
encrypted with the according public key.
But I do not wish to use the old key for signing or encryption anymore..
I've done this:
1. I generated a revocation certificate, and imported it.
2. I sent the revoked key to a keyserver.
3. I used gpg --edit-key to disable the key. When I try gpg --edit-key
on the old key it tells me that it's disabled, so all is good.
4. When I run 'gpg --sign' it still asks for the passphrase for my old
key. Why?
