That's something I wanted to ask for a long time: is it
sufficient to meet someone personally to sign her key?

I mean the following.  An ID card provides a binding between you
and your name.  But what about the e-mail address, which is
included in my uid as well?  The ID card doesn't tell anything
about it.

How is this problem dealt with at key-signing parties?  Is it
conventional to also check the e-mail address?  If it is, how?
