well i managed to create a pub key without a priv key. that is, it only has a pub part. thats what gpa key manager is telling me.

so i thought i would remove it and recreate a new key pair for that email addr.

if you or someone can tell me how i can create a priv key for that email address that i created with only a pub key? i don't know how i did that with the gpa key manager.

hope that clarifies it a bit
