Hello,
I created a key using Mailvelope (the key I intended to use did not work
with Mailvelope) and I noticed that GnuPG shows rsa2048 for the [SC]
primary key and rsa2047 for the [E] subkey. Mailvelope shows 2048 bits for
both keys.
My guess is that Mailvelope generates the keys and shows the key
properties incorrectly.
My question to the list is: Are there known side effects from using such a
key? (Besides the fact that it is not what I expected it to be.)
Regards,
Hugo
