Hi,

Just one simple question:

I put a expiry date on my key and I get a signature. If I change the
expiry date to a later date, will the signature expire at the first date
or will it stay valid?

Looking at my keyring I assume that if I sign a key with an expiry date,
my signature expires at the expiry date of the key. Most signatures have
the same expiry date as the key itself.

Regards,
Thomas
